Activity Flow:
1. Players occupy the cones, starting cones have two players
2. Passing loop starts with the two center backs. Player 1 plays to Player 2.
3. From there, Player 2 plays to the player 3 at the number 6 position. Before Player 3 receives the ball, Player 3 moves closer towards both centre back and in between the center backs.
4. From there Player 3 in the number 6 position plays a vertical pass forward to Player 4 in the number 10 position.
5. Player 4 drops the ball to the full-back
6. The full-back plays to the winger, who is also the center-back for the restart of the passing loop.
7. Passing pattern is played back and forth

Organization:
1. 8 cones
2. Set up the cones as in the image
3. Backup balls at the starting position
4. One half of the pitch is needed

Coaching Points:
1. Awareness / Orientation – Before selecting check over your shoulder to see where the space, opponents and your teammates are on the field
2. Speed of the Pass – Quickly to allow team mate to turn, slowly to allow team mate to protect the ball or play one touch)
3. Accuracy of the Pass – In front if no opponent near, behind if opponent close
4. Timing – When to release the ball to best help team mate
5. Type of Pass – Inside of foot to ensure accuracy or spin, laces for longer passes, outside of foot when under pressure or to shape away from opponent

Variations:
1. Easier – play through without changing positions, everyone has their fixed task
2. Harder – increase passing distances and demand sharpness of passes
3. Harder – start with two balls at the same time ( add additional starting position with player #6 & center double up)
