How it works

Balls with Passer, attacker dashes left or right to the mannequin and opens their body, the passer feeds the ball to the attacker who must take it on the half turn, the attacker then finishers with the second touch, they then quickly return to the box to receive the next pass, the attacker should control with one foot and strike with the other
