I have attached a drill from our drills section.The key for me is that the receiver drifts back towards the direction of the pass in order to create space for the player on the loop!
There are others there you can modify to suit whatever you are trying to achieve.
I hope this helps you,

DESCRIPTION
Tell your players the following...... The ball carrier (A) runs straight in a line and makes a normal lateral pass to the supporting player (B) After passing the ball A runs towards and behind B After B catches the pass they angle their run towards the direction the pass has come from and so create space A runs around B and straightens as they receive the pass In effect you want the players to loop around the new ball carrier after they make their pass.
