Crossover Steps to Pass — Move Sideways, Play Forward
Players move laterally through a short cone corridor using crossover steps, then open the body to receive and pass forward.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Set a 4m lateral cone corridor beside a passing line. Player crosses over through the corridor, opens hips toward the ball, receives from a server and plays forward to the next station.
