8 players per grid

This activity is used to work out of a triangle, players in the middle will move in a static form maintaining there shape and balance to the grid. Players on the outside will have to focus on the weight of there pass as well as there technique to complete each pass properly inside the small rectangle.

Each outer line will have 3 players in it while the players in the middle will remain in pairs. The outside player use the inside players as combination players. You will see that one player from the top of the grid will sprint toward the bottom of the grid. That player will force the player with the ball to use one of the combination players to connect a pass and work about the on coming player.The drill will then start over at the other side of the grid. Once we get this moving it is a continual flow of players working side to side.

The activity will work for 1 30 seconds. Then we rotate the outer players.
