Step And Pass Squares (U10-U12)

Setup

You will require: 9 cones / 1 ball, Set up a 2x2 meter square made up of 4 smaller 1x1 meter squares, one player has the ball, each player starts on the edge of their 1x1 meter box facing the player opposite

How it works

Players work in pairs that face each other at the end of their boxes, player A starts with the ball, Player B moves forward to the end of their 1x1 meter box closest to player A and play a 1-2, then they backtrack to the original position and play a two touch pass, this is continuous playing 1st time on the front foot and 2 touch on the back foot, player A always stays in position, rotate player roles every 90 seconds
