Triangle Partner Pass & Dribble (15 mins)

Purpose: 

Activating short passing combinations with a partner. Check around the top cone before showing to the opposite side.


Organization & Objective: 

Cones placed in a 3x3x3 triangle. 2 players per group with 1 ball. Player 1 on the base of the triangle will start with the ball. Player 2 will start standing off one of the base cones and will demand the ball, receive, dribble, and pass back based on the rules of each round.  At the end of each round players will switch positions and repeat that round before moving on to the next one, rounds will last approximately 90 seconds.

  • Round 1 - Player 2 will demand ball at one base side cone, receive, dribble around top cone to other base side cone, and send pass back to Player 1. They will then immediately demand the ball back this time going the other way around the top cone to complete the action. Players will then repeat the cycle until time is up.
  • Round 2 - Player 2 will demand the ball in between a base cone and top cone, receive, and return pass back to Player 1. After doing so, they will check away around the top cone, and then check back in on the opposite side of the triangle where they will demand the ball, receive, and again return pass. Players well then repeat the cycle until time is up.
  • Round 3 - Player 2 will demand the ball in between a base cone and top gun, receive the past beyond the top gun, news one or two touches to slide around the top cone, and return pass back to player one.  Player 2 will then immediately demand the ball back this time going the other way around the top gun to complete the action. Players will then repeat the cycle until time is up.


Progressions: 

  • Set a minimum number of touches.

  • Require players to use opposite feet when going in different directions.

  • Base player will toss the ball in the air. Player working within the triangle is to settle the ball to the ground before dribbling around the outside and playing their pass back.


Coaching Points: 

  • Proper weight and accuracy to your passes.
  • Focus on a quality first touch to set yourself up for a good pass.
  • Players should be on their toes ready to receive and demanding the ball.
