A passing skills drill, called the  "Pressure Passing Test". This is a drill in which players can  exercise their quick passing
("Quick hands") under pressure.
"  Players can practice  their passing up and down the field, but the moment they are under pressure then it is a complete
different situation. This is an excellent drill or exercise to practice their passing under pressure or to see how good their passing
are under pressure. If the passing is quick and slick then the ball must beat the drifting defenders to the outside player. "
