SETTING UP: You only need a small area of the pitch to practice this drill, but try and make sure it's part of the pitch with a line.

If there are no pitch markings, you could use a skipping rope or some spare sticks.

AIM: Make raised passes over the line.

PRACTICE: Stand on one side of the line with your team-mate opposite you.

Pass the ball back and forth between you, raising the ball about six inches above the line.

Make sure the ball doesn't touch the line.

Make the drill harder by running up and down the line as you pass.
