Passing exercise / jogging backwards

Preparation:

Exercise:

Player A dribbles forward, while player B jogs backwards across the field.
As the players jog across the field, player A passes the ball to B, who passes back to A, just until they reach the opposite sideline.
The roles reverse when the players reach the other side of the field. Player A then runs backwards to the line where they started.
