Exercise Objectives:
The object of this exercise is to develop each players game vision and quick decision making. 
 
Field Preparation
   9 -12 Players
   Area 20 yards x 20 Yards (4 players outside) (5-8 players inside)
   Cones
   Supply of balls
   Colored bibs
 
Coaching Pointers:
Place 5-8 players inside the square. Position 4 players on the outside of the square as in the diagram above. Players on the outside jog slowly around the square. They must be alert to receive passes.

The players on the inside pass a ball inside the square. After several passes a player “calls out” a players name from the outside of the square and passes him the ball. The player receives the ball and must sprint ‘flat out” around the flag pole and then play the ball back into the square to a different player. Start with unrestricted amount of touch inside the square then develop quickly to “two touch” and “one touch”. Add a second ball. Have player change roles.

Focus on:
  Vision and communication.
  Quick movement off the ball. 
  Players should be constantly scanning the field to see their support.
