Players undergo a passing circuit which serves as an opportunity to prepare the body for the demands of training , while also frequently performing football actions.
This circuit will require the players to dribble with the ball through various obstacles.
Once the player passes through the last cone/slalom pole , he/she will return a pass to the start area.
Once this pass has been completed he/she will work through a speed ladder , and receive a pass , which he/she will have to return through the gate.
Players will move through the circuit and will end up as a server.
This drill can be non-competitive , or made into a race to demands greater intensity from the players.
