Game version
Look-look-drive: check both shoulders, then drive a pass to the target. Pairs count drives that arrive on target.
Two Looks, Then Drive It
Check both shoulders before every receive, then drive a firm pass into a target, the way a center back starts play.

The steps
How it works
- Stand 6 steps from a wall with 2 target cones 10 to 15 steps behind you, left and right.
- Before each rebound, look over both shoulders. Your parent points at one target.
- Receive and drive a firm, low pass at that target.
- Do 6 sets of 60 seconds.
Coaching point
Know your next pass before the ball arrives.

Play it, don't drill it
