Here is a nice wall pass shooting drill that accurately reflects a game like situation. Although the video is a little dry, you can easily remember this setup and run the drill at your next practice.
These reason I like this drill is because it accurately reflects how a scoring chance might develop in front of the goal during a game, and it forces both the shooter and the keeper to be on point.
Considering running a dual setup, and have two lines on each side of the goal, one group working on left, and the other on right. Add a defender to the mix by making the original receiver a defender after he distributes the ball. Just a few ideas to spice this drill up.

Passing and receiving is an art, and the foundation of the game. One thing is for sure, you want passing drills to be a vital part of your practice regimen so you better have a vast supply to draw from. Here is a passing drill to run with your team at your next soccer practice.
Flat Overlaps
This drill requires groups of 3, extra players can be combined into groups of 4. Make sure you rotate the position of A every minute or so. If you find this drill is too difficult for your team, you can start by playing 2 touch, before progressing into 1 touch.
Step 1: B plays the Ball to A. B makes an overlapping run around A.
Step 2: A plays a flat pass to the opposite side.
Step 3: B plays a one touch pass to C, and goes to the back of the line.
Step 4: C plays a one touch pass to A, repeat
