Two cone triangles are placed opposite each other 20 metres apart with two gates (about 3 metres wide) in between. Players with balls stand at both ends and one player without a ball in the middle. The outside player dribbles out and passes to the middle player, who is pressured from behind by the coach, turns through a gate and passes to the other side. Trains scanning, a positive first touch and protecting the ball. Source: FIFA Training Centre (Instagram).
