Teamwork is the key starting point for any successful team and this passing exercise is based around learning the fundamental techniques required to pass and receive the ball effectively. Players can start with either 1 or 2 balls between a group of 5. Start off by passing to each other with the objective of making sure the ball is moving at all times. Once players have passed the ball, they should move into a different space to create an angle to receive another ball from their team mate.
