SETUP:
- Large 20x20 area
- Paylers in threes with a ball for each group
- Players exchange passes in their threes (trying to avoid the other threes doing the same) but after each pass they have to move somewhere else in the area
- Try to find a rythym; short, short, long
Coaching Points:
- Move your feet after passing
- Try to find space to receive the ball on an angle from your team mate
- Receive across the body
- Scan for where your teammates are to pass to
