7. Exercise / Drill 15 How Many Passes Objective: To improve players' passing and communication skills. Exercise / Drill set up Exercise / Drill explanation: 1. Four players group together inside a grid, with one player nominated as the interceptor or defender. 2. The interceptor tries to intercept the ball or pressure the other players into making bad passes or dropping the ball. 3.
