Rob the Nest - Passing tunnel

Rob the nest variation with passing back down a tunnel to get the balls into the home goal.

Setup

Split the group into 2, 3 or 4 teams of 5-8 players and put lots of ball in the middle. You can place marker discs to form a tunnel of players that the ball will get passed back and forth along. The furthest player runs through the tunnel, gets a ball and passes it to the front player. The ball is then passed back and forth along the tunnel until it reaches the end. Players then follow their pass and the he next player runs to get a ball.

Objective & Coaching Points

Focus on proper passing and receiving technique. Also encourage effort and moving after the pass.

Extension & Progression

Any loss of ball control and the ball has to start again from the middle. Make it a race against other teams.
