Creating Space to Receive the Ball | Movement off the ball

Creating Space to Receive the Ball:

Player 3 runs into the channel. At the same time player 1 passes the ball to player 2. Player 3 has to time the run, so they can run out of the channel once player 2 is ready to pass the ball, not before. Again it is important that player 3 should not have to slow down to receive the ball, and should take the ball while continuing to run and shoot at goal.

Pre match pass and follow:

1 passes to 2.
2 passes to 3.
3 passes to 1, who then shoots.
Player 2 then moves to player 1 position, player 3 moves to 2 and player 1 goes to the back of the queue.
The next ball is then passed.

Make Space:

The worker player makes a run around the outside of the channel.
