Players have to pass the ball around the outside of the square with only 3 players. To make this possible, the player after the pass has to move to the empty corner (any direction).
Players should look at their target each time whilst they are completing the pass, this will help the accuracy. Use the cross-over step when on the move. Try and trap the ball between the feet whilst keeping a strong base, bend the knees but keep the stick in front of the body with left elbow high.
