Object of game is to make a long pass from one zone to the other.

If the players get the ball or the ball isnt received by the opposition the player that made mistakes team goes in to the middle. EG if a receiving player doesnt control the ball and it leaves zone then there team goes in to the middle.

Coaching points

There is an opportunity to coach players in the middle to keep the unit tight however remember this session is about long passing so long passing technique needs to be coached first.

Although the session is about Long passing - first touch, control and movement off the ball shouldnt be ignored but priority must go to the passing technique
