Warm Up And Passing Activation

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
