Set up a big square 9m x 9m, split into four 3m x 3m squares. It can be put into the context of court by positioning it just inside the shooting third.
Position 2 attackers and 2 defenders as shown in diagram.
A feeder starts outside of the squares with the ball. There is another defender in between the feeder and the square.
This drill looks to progress a Centre pass from the 1st phase (receipt of the 1st pass) to the 2nd phase (passing options from the 1st phase).

The attackers then look to 2nd phase option: the second pass that looks to move the ball into the attacking third.
Vary the start positions of both attackers and defenders:
