Warm Up And Passing Activation Pattern
- Warm-up
- U11 to U13
- 6–18 players
- Passing
- First Touch

Setup
You will require: 1 ball / 4 cones, Set a row of 4 cones 2 meters apart, split group into rows facing each other at the end cones, one ball required, 1 player starts to the right center of the row
How it works
Player with the ball plays the center player who feeds a pass through the middle 'gate' of the cones to return the ball, the original player now on the left side of the cones feeds the player at the opposite end, then repeat the process going the other way, the pattern should look like a lightning bolt on the ground, the player in the middle goes to the back of the opposite line after the 1/2 pass
