• Divide players into pairs ... standing approx.
  10-15 yards apart.
• One ball per pair
• Place cones 2 steps apart
• The coach blows the whistle & each team plays 2 touch passing between the cones.

• Players receiving the ball should get in the path of the ball before it arrives.
• The players first touch should help position the ball so he/she can make a good pass back to his/her partner with the second touch.
• The trap sets up the pass so the player should not stop the ball dead beneath their body but push the ball slightly to one side or the other.
• Trapping to one side creates time and space between the player and the oncoming defender.

After the players play & understand the game for a few minutes, introduce:

• On the coaches whistle, players begin the 2 touch passing game ... The last team that is able to keep the ball moving between the cones (with 2 touches) wins the game.
• Restrict games allowing all traps & passes to be with the left foot only, right foot only, instep only, trap with the left & pass with the right only, etc.
