Set Up :
As shown on the diagram below, an area is created approx 30 X 30. To start place for midfield players on center cones (Red players 1 – 4). Split other players into two groups and place them at opposite ends of the marked area (Yellow players 1 – 6).
Explanation:
Yellow 1 passes the ball to Red 1, Yellow 1 continues run and overlaps behind Red 1. Red 1 receives ball and passes to Red 2 who passes to overlapping Yellow 1. Red 1 passes to Yellow 4 who continues practice. Red 1 joins the end of the other group. Run practice for 5 minutes then rotate middle players. Stretch / drink in between rotations
