This drill can be done in various
ways.
a. Vary the distances between the
poles to give an all around passing and sprinting
effect.
b. Work on 1 minute in each position
and then change.
c. Use either one touch passing or
if the players conditioning is not up to it the
player in position A can decide to have more touches
(very good for teaching players decision making).
