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.
