Variation #1 (10 min): "Coach Passer." Coaches first pass from the shooter position (Variation #1A) and later from the crease position (Variation #1B), once the defenders get the grasp of keeping their head on a swivel while maintaining their footwork. The offensive player does their best to get the defender off-balance using various one-on-one moves, attempting to receive a pass.

The defender runs ("shadows") continuously forward and back-pedals backward (staying between the pylons - in line with offenders' top shoulder) while off-ball, side-shuffling while on-ball and being sure to keep their “stick up” and to stand in the passing lanes & shooting lanes.

Alternate between sides, with one side starting on the first whistle and the other side starting on the next whistle. After playing offense, players are next up on defense (after the other side takes their turn), and then exit the drill.

Coaches allow each player one dropped pass up to a maximum of 3 consecutive passes caught in a row, at which point players have 5 seconds to get to the net for a shot (more passes are still allowed during this time); the play is dead on the coaches whistle.  Offensive players should react to their rebound as a good habit; defenders should clear the zone on any loose balls.

Variation #2 (10 min):  "Player Passer."  Same as the above variation except players are passing instead of coaches, with the rotation becoming:  passer, receiver, defender; exit the drill.  There is also a Variation #2C, whereby the defender on the side of the drill that is passing, plays soft defense against the passer.  This forces the passer to have to switch up release points while still timing their passes.

Variation #3 (10 min): "Player Obstacle." Same as the above variations except after playing defense players remain between the pylons, acting as an obstacle for the new player playing defense to have to evade while shadowing.

Variation #4 (10 min):  "Lock Off Variation."  Same as the above variations except the defender now doesn't need to stay between the pylons and can venture out toward the off-ball player, doing whatever it takes to not allow them to catch a pass ("locking off"). 

Once a pass is missed the play is blown dead and the other side takes their turn while players rotate through the drill.  Players are allowed a maximum of 15 seconds to catch as many passes as possible, at which point the coach blows the whistle and the defender runs out of the drill allowing the offender to run naked to the net for a shot. 

The players on the other side take their turn on the next whistle; track the overall champions for consecutive completed passes in a row.
