Warm Up (20 mins)

Large square with a small square in the middle. Size depends on number of players you have for the practice.

Four groups of players - A, B, C, D. One player from each line goes at same time. Each player dribbles into the cones, stops the ball at the cone and runs to the right. On getting to the ball you pass out to the corner and follow your pass. The next player in line then starts the sequence.

Practice can then go across the square as shown in diagram so A & C are working together and B&D.
