Split Drill with Trailer 3:

Equipment Required: Bump Pads, Balls, Cones.

On GO, players A, B & C start running but A & C switch sides behind player C and run around the cones.

Player C takes a pop pass from the feeder and drives on in to the contact pad where he turns and looks to pass to either A or B who are crossing back behind him.

Agility & Running Skills

Pass and run:

Tell the players the following....

Player 1 starts with the ball.
Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 and then quickly moves off their cone and runs to the cone where player 2 is and back to their cone.
Player 2 then passes to player 3, follows the pass to the position of player 3 and back to their starting position.
Change your passing hand each time
The aim is to for the players to be back in their starting position before the ball returns back, but main thing is that they provide a good pass to the receiving player.
