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.
