Passing Loop Through Midfield

12 min · Intermediate · 6+ players · Medium space

Description

Setup
Cones in the shape you play: two at the back, two in midfield, one up top. A player at each, a queue at the back cones.
Play
The ball goes back, into midfield, bounced back out, then forward to the top player who lays it off. Then the whole thing runs the other way.
Score
Ten loops each direction, clean.
Progression
Two touch, then one touch in midfield only.
Harder
Add a passive defender in midfield the ball must go around.
Easier
Drop the top player and just work back to midfield and out.
