Split players into 4s inside a coned area. The attackers (white) start with the ball on the outside of the playing area.
To begin with White 2 feints a movement one way and then sprints in opposite the direction (to begin with use a passive defender).
After white 1 has passed the ball, she then has to do a feint dodge and run in opposite direction to receive the ball.
Try to get 3 / 5 passes in a row before possession changes.

Encourage players to use the whole space.
Try to get players to 'give and go' - once they pass the ball move to receive the pass (reactions).
