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
