4 Person Square Passing
- 3 players position themselves on three corners of the square and provide passing opportunities for their teammate with the ball
- the defensive player cannot move outside of the square, but needs to steal the ball from the offensive players
- when the ball moves from one player to another, the 3rd teammate must move to the open cone to provide a 2nd passing option for the person with the ball
- don't be flat footed
- anticipate your teammate's pass
- always make sure you are paying attention, moving, and talking
- defensive player, contain, but don't lunge at the ball
