Passing Triangles (20 mins)

Set Up: Triangles should be between 6 - 12 yards on all sides, can start smaller and make bigger as you go, having a max of 6 players in any triangle to maximize repetition [balls, cones]

Organization: Players pass the ball around the triangle, staying on the outside of the triangle, letting the ball come across their body and then taking a directional first touch around cone. Do not stand still, check away from the cone to create space. Players follow their passes.

Progressions: [a] Backpedal to Create Space - A plays to B, B lays the ball off and backpedals to create space, and receives the ball across their body and then plays to C; One Two - B plays to C, C drops ball back and makes bending run around cone, and gets the ball back from B (can also add a skip pass); [c] Front Foot - D plays to E, E plays a first touch front foot pass to F, who lays it off for a one two; [d] Cut Pass - G dribbles at H, H initially checks for ball, then moves around cone, G plays a disguised pass to I, who lays off to H and gets the one two back

Coaching Points: create space, check your shoulders, proper technique in receiving the ball, speed of technique, movement off the ball, timing of runs, pace of passes
