This drill introduces the other type of passing in football (long passes) which is instrumental in chance creation as this helps with switching the play and crossing the ball into the box. This drill focuses on switching the play to the other wing after every successful switch the player will follow the ball to the side they kicked the ball to. This drill does allow the ball to bounce 2 times on the way other but if players find it to easy the drill can be adapted to make no bounces until the ball gets to the other marked out wing.
