Basic passing drill - Standing in lines of 4 and/or 5 the person at the left end begins moving for ward with their team following diagonally behind each other. The ball then gets passed down this line and once reaching the end the team run to the other side. This teaches the players to get in the habit of staying in form and to make sure to pass backwards.
Coaching points - Communicate with the person you are passing to/receiving the ball from. Keep moving forward and make sure to follow the ball through with your hands.
