Set-up

Pairs pass through 8 small cone gates scattered across the grid; each gate scored when both players pass through in sequence. Keep it low intensity — it's about touch quality and first look, not speed.

Coaching points

Weight of pass — firm enough to reach, soft enough to control
Scan before you receive; know where the next gate is
Two touches max before moving

Progressions

Add a third player to each group — one ball, continuous movement between gates
Limit to one touch for technical players; let weaker passers stay on two
