How the drill works

Set up four poles in a rectangle with some space between each to form a central gate. Position two players on each long side of the rectangle and one player inside the middle space between the poles. The drill starts with one outside player passing the ball across to the middle player, who performs a one-touch pass through the poles back to the opposite outside player. That outside player then plays a firm pass across to the opposite side, restarting the sequence. The player who made the first pass follows their pass and moves to the opposite side, keeping the rotation continuous. This drill emphasizes one-touch play, accuracy, awareness, and communication, serving as a sharp technical warm-up to activate players at the start of the session.
