Area – half a football pitch with goals across the field (see diagram).
Both goalkeepers start the practice simultaneously by distributing the ball to player 1 in the central zone.
Player 1 moves away from the cone to receive before passing the ball on to player 2.
Player 2 makes a similar movement, away from the cone, before passing the ball on to player 3 who moves away sharply to receive.
After delivering the ball player 2 continues with a forward run, allowing player 3 the opportunity of a return pass providing a chance of a strike at goal.
Players rotate roles in sequence.
Progression:
Player 1 misses out player 2 and switches the ball to player 3. Player 2 still makes a forward run to receive the the ball from player 3 to finish on goal.
