Make up two teams (The teams for the final game). Depending on the size of the group, create a box marked off. The objective for each team is to string together 10 passes in a row. This is without the other team stealing/intercepting the ball off them OR without them kicking the ball out; past the cones. If a team gets 10 passes in a row, they get a point and must turn the ball over to the other team.
This drill helps show how important it is to stay in space and what precision passing can do.
This drill ends either if a team can get to 5 points of until after the time finishes.
