Here the girls will practice using a feint to create space for their pass, in combination with driving with their head up. The exercise is, in essence, the same thing three times ending with scoring on the goal. To start the player with the ball will drive towards the square they will play a 1v1 against the defender, although they will be using a feint to move the defender so they are able to pass, this means that they need to plan and decide where they want to pass before they make the action.
The second player (Red) will come slowly walk towards the square to show where they want to get the ball, they will start at the same time as the other attacked (Red). The player with the ball will then be able to plan for where they want to pass (and where the feint should be). Once the 2nd attacker gets the ball they will drive around the cone they started on and do the same thing in the nex square.
The rotation is linear so attacker-defender attack-defender etc.
