Inner/Outer Passing Triangle (15 mins)

Session Organization:

  • Field: One large equilateral triangle ~20 yards each side. One small triangle in the center ~3 yards each side. 
  • Players: 3 players start on the cones in the central triangle. 4-5 players start spread on the cones along the outer triangle.
  • Player A starts with ball on the outside triangle and passes deep to B. 
  • Player B bounces the ball back to C.
  • Player C plays the ball to D.
  • Player D plays to E and the pattern repeats. 
  • Players follow their pass. 

Coaching Points:

  • Remind players of the importance in checking away and then towards each pass to create space for themselves.
  • Focus on cushioning the ball softly for the bounce back pass in the central area. 
  • Keeping head up to see target & make eye contact.

Progressions:

  • On coach's call, switch direction of the pattern. 
  • Introduce different passing combinations (give & gos, 1-2's etc.) between the inner and outer triangle players. 
  • Add a passive defender to raise the intensity and energy while players are in the central triangle space.
