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.
