Set-up

Groups of 4-5 in a diamond. Ball starts at top, player passes and follows their pass, rotating around the diamond. Start with two-touch, keep tempo low — this is a shakeout after the run, not a fitness hit.

Coaching points

  • Weight of pass: firm enough to reach cleanly, not so hard the next player is chasing.
  • Show for the ball — give the passer an option before the ball arrives.
  • Eye up before you receive; know what's next before you touch it.

Progressions

  • Add a third ball to increase demand and expose players who switch off.
  • Introduce one-touch restriction to sharpen decision speed.
