Each team passes and moves inside the playing area between its own coloured players. Emphasis on good quality ground passing.
This can be performed with sequential passing (i.e. number players off and player 1 passes to player 2, whos passes to player 3, etc)
Work on instep passing and also outside of the foot passing. First touch with the inside of the foot, or outside of the foot.

Awareness. Looking over the shoulder to asses space and a players first touch being ointo space.
Checking for space and movement to get free.
