A give-and-go, or one-two, is a fundamental maneuver in many team sports which involves two players passing the ball or puck back and forth.

Association football

{{Main article|Push and run}}

A push and run, also known as a wall pass, or a one-two in association football is when a player passes the ball to a teammate, makes a run past a defender, and that teammate plays the ball back to him. This technique is effective to maneuver past a defender and get a clear shot at goal, but is also difficult to do and requires precise timing or risk breaking down an attacking situation.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=The Give-and-Go {{!}} Coaching American Soccer|url=https://coachingamericansoccer.com/intermediate-soccer-skills/intermediate-passing-the-give-and-go/|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-10-05|website=}}{{Cite web|title=Soccer: Passing the Ball|url=https://www.ducksters.com/sports/soccer/passing_the_ball.php|access-date=2020-10-05|website=www.ducksters.com}}

The term wall pass comes from street football where a player would use a wall to hit the ball on and run around the defender and collect it again.
