3 cone passing (10 mins)

Set out three cones in a line 2 ft between each cone. 

Have two players stand 5 ft apart. 

1) Right Foot only: Play starts with player 1 passing the ball through the gate to player 2. Player 2 takes their first touch to the right and moves the ball across to the next gate. After passing the ball, both players must move across to the open gate to receive the ball. 

2) Left Foot only: Same as above, but players start on the opposite side and use the left foot only. 

4 pole numbers passing (10 mins)

set up 4 cones, 3 yards apart. Number the gates 1,2,3. Player stands on one side of the gates, the coach/feeder stands on the other side. The pass from the feeder always comes through gate number two. After the pass coach calls a number, If coach calls 2, the player plays the ball straight back through gate number 2. If the coach calls 1 the player takes a touch with their right foot and plays the ball back to the feeder through gate number 1. If coach calls 3, player takes a touch with their left foot and pass the ball back to the feeder through gate number 3.
