  1. Player 1 dribbles to the box and stops the ball in it.
  2. Player 1 runs behind player 2.
  3. Player 2 runs to the ball, turns it 90 degrees, and passes to player 3.
  4. Player 2 runs behind player 3, and the pattern repeats.

Watch for

Don't let player 2 run around the ball. Have them go straight to it and do a skill: a rollie toward player 3, an L turn, and so on.

Focus

Player 2 does the skill and passes while still in the box. This works on dribbling skills and how to dribble to set up a pass.

A hard drill for U5/U6, but U7/U8 should be able to do it.
