Set Up: 2 identical grids. Cones are 10m apart.

DRILL 1

DRILL 2

P2 starts at cone and immediately checks out to 'Peel Out Position'. As soon as P2 makes movement P1 plays short pass to P2. P2 receives then plays short pass to P3. Once ball is received P3 attack dribbles down the inside and plays short pass to P4 when in line with second cone. Players follow their pass.
