Chase your own pass

Set up 5 equal groups of players, one group on each sideline and 3 in the middle. Have several balls with both groups of sideline players. Player 1 starts the drill with a pass to player 2. Player 2 runs out to meet the pass and then passes it on to player 3 who passes to player 4 who finishes with a shot on goal. Immediately after passing though player 1 must chase down their own pass, making sure they're in a position to block the shot when blue 4 is in possession. Players in the middle rejoin the back of their own lines after receiving the pass/shooting. Sideline players join the back of the line on the opposite side of the court after blocking the shot.

In this game there are more attackers than defenders. The aim for the attackers is to dribble from one line to the other without being dispossessed. Every time they successfully do this they score a point for their team. After a player is tackled they may retrieve their ball but they will not score a point on that turn. Each team has 10 runs before you the teams are changed. The team who scored the most runs is the winning side.

I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
