Set up an area with lots of gates in (roughly 1/2 yards apart for the cones). The group get into pairs and get a football between the pair. They move around the area, passing the ball through the gates. Let them do this for a few minutes and then stop then, discuss any coaching points (e.g. how they are passing the ball, how far apart they are). Let them try again for a few minutes. Stop them and turn it into a bit of a competition, give them a minute to see how many successful passes they can do.
