Instructions

- Player 1 passes to player 3.
- Player 3 passes to player 2.
- Player 2 passes to player 3 on the other side of the training stick.
- Player 3 makes a run around the training stick and receives the pass.
- Player 3 receives the pass and dribbles in-and-out of the training sticks set up in the middle of the field.
- Player 3 returns to the back of the line.
- Player 1 takes player 2's starting position.
- Player 2 takes player 3's starting position.

Coaching Points
- Passes must be precise and to the feet of the receiving player.
- Good movement off the ball to create space and time the passes.
- Play in one-touch if possible. Slowing the drill to two-touches will allow players to get familiar with the pattern, and pace of the passes.
- If a bad pass is given, adjust accordingly and continue the drill.
Variations
- Play in two-touch passes for beginners.
