Players stand opposite each other a few yards apart. Both have a ball at their right foot, and at the same time pass to the other player’s left foot. Both control the ball they receive from their left foot to their right to continue the drill.
Once players are comfortable, get them to speed up and use a maximum of 2 touches when they receive the ball – one to control, one to pass.
Repeat the drill in the opposite direction, both players now starting with the ball on their left foot.
Get players to repeat the drill with a new partner.
