Variation #2 (5 min):  "2 Balls."  Same as the above variations except that only two of the three passers start with a ball.  In this variation it is up to the designated player to pass the ball they receive to the other player without a ball (which constantly changes); the balls are ultimately being passed much faster than Variation #1.  (Draw Diagram). 

Variation #3 (5 min):  "Mix Release Points."  Same as the above variations except coaches instruct players to make a certain type of pass:  overhand, side-arm, underhand or bounce pass.

Variation #4 (5 min):  "Add Defense."  Same as the above variations except there are defenders in the passing lane, trying to pick-off the passes.  Get two groups to compete against each other to see who can complete the most passes in 30 seconds, with winning teams moving on in a winners-go-on format, while the losers can do a consolation round. 

Variation #5 (5 min):  "Consecutive Catches Game."  Same as the above variations of the drill except have players keep track of how many times in a row their group catches the ball without a drop. If a ball is dropped that group must start their count over from zero.

Variation #6 (5 min):  "No Look Passes."  Same as the above variations except have players practice "no look" passing, where they pass to the intended player while looking at the goalie or another player.
