Organisation
Players on the outside play a pass to the player in the triangle. The player who played pass now takes the position in the triangle and the player who received the ball takes his touch out of the triangle and dribbles away.
Progression
One defender in the area who applies pressure to the player receiving the ball. He's not allowed to tackle. The players must decide if it's safe for them to receive and open out or if they should do a bounce pass.
