Three-Cone Passing Drill

Objective:

The three-cone passing drill focuses on passing, awareness, and movement after the pass. This is a great warmup to focus on passing technique and movement after the pass.

Setup
  1. Create an 8-yard triangle using three cones.
  2. Have two players start on one of the three cones, leaving one empty.
  3. One player starts with the ball.
Instructions
  1. As players pass the ball, they must move to the open cone. 
  2. As the passing player moves to the open cone, his cone becomes open and available for the next passer.
  3. Play continues for 2 minutes.
