A plays to B. B takes the ball forward and plays to C. C breaks away from the back four and lets the ball drop to D. D plays the ball through the gap to E, who is coming in from the side. E makes a cross to player C, who attempts to finish the cross. Then, the exercise is repeated identically on the other side.
Position change: A becomes B, B to C, etc.
Note The focus is on quick game transition. The passes need to be sharp and precise to bring a lot of speed into the drill.
