Organization:

- 30L x 15W (3 - 4 grids)

Instructions:

- Player A passes to Player B

- On recieving Player B checks shoulder and looks to turn (without touching the blue cone)

- Player B then passes again to Player A to complete the OVER LAP

- Player B passes and moves past the white line (to encourage the movement off the ball) and recycles to the back of the line

- Player A dribbles to the outside of the drill and approaching the center red cone passes to Player C

Rotation Simplified:

- Player A becomes Player B, Player B gets to the back of the line, Player C becomes player A

Coaching Points:
