Organization

Place two markers on either side of the mini-goal and one vertically behind it. The players line up on each marker and one (the striker) in front of the mini-goal. The inactive players wait behind their teammate who starts with the ball (starting position).

Description

B, after controlling the ball, passes it to player C
C plays back to teammate B
B, after receiving the pass, lifts the ball over the mini goal, trying to set up teammate D, who is in front of the goal, for a volley
With each repetition, the players move up the line following the path of the ball (changing their position within the sequence each time)
