Set up a Zig-Zag line of cones approximately 10 yards apart (change the number of cones appropriate for the group size). 3-4 players line up at the first cone and other players spread out to the other cones, 1 player per cone.
The drill starts when the first player passes to the other player at the first cone, they receive and pass to the next player and so on until the last player receives the ball who then controls and dribbles back to the start. Each player follows their pass to stand in the place of the player they passed to. PLayers must receive outside the cone to encourage controlling the ball through the body.
This can be progress by creating a 1-2 at each cone.
