Set-up

Set up triangles with three stations each. Player A plays to B, overlaps, receives back, plays into C who switches. Continuous movement — players follow their pass. Introduce the idea of movement off the ball before the pass.

Coaching points

  • Weight of pass matters — firm and to the correct foot
  • Move before you receive, not after
  • Ben Carlson and Landon Beck run this group; let the technical players lead by example

Progressions

  • Add a defender to one triangle to create pressure on the passer
  • Increase to four-man combination with a third give-and-go
