Setup

In this drill your players string together several passing patterns to keep the ball moving, then finish it off with a one-touch shot on a mini-goal.

１）Set up 6 players, with the first player starting on the ball.

２）Run a flow that mixes different types of passes — a three-step run, a one-two, a drop pass, and more.

３）At every stage, the receiver reads the next play and takes the ball at exactly the right moment.

４）The ball works its way to the player near goal, who goes for a one-touch shot.

５）As soon as the shot is away, the next player starts immediately and you keep it rolling, rep after rep.
