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.

Players stay in groups of 3 with 1 ball.
2 players stand in the grid and 1 player outside with the ball.

The players inside the grid alternate to get free from each other to receive the ball from the player on the outside.

Set an allotted period of time for players to complete the pass (ticking clock).

Feeder 1 has the ball. Worker runs out towards a cone, changes direction and sprints to receive a pass from the feeder.

Blue player 2 starts with the ball and the other two players set up a few meters away, with the defender marking B1.

When everyone is ready:

B1 should make a forward run and then perform an outside roll, spinning 360 degrees before then running into space and receive the pass.
