4 pass to a 5v4 break
This is a traditional 5v4 drill with a bit of a twist. A great way to sneak some extra stick work in and maintain the next players in line attention.

Once the one group ends the new 4 up top begin passing and the expectation will be set that the players down low will be ready in time.
