Put your players into pairs, about 2-3 metres apart from one another with one ball.
Using one hand players must lob pass to one another (don't forget to transfer your weight onto your front foot when passing).
The lob pass is a helpful way for players to pass to a team mate in a congested area when a flat pass is impossible.
It's important the pass is played accurately though, so that the intended recipient can run onto the ball.
For a proper lob pass:
The ball should be held high, with fingers spread behind the ball.
Extend arms and flick wrist, using fingers to guide the ball.
The path of the ball should be high and looping.
