Type: Defensive Stance, Footwork and Passing

Description:

Players are in groups of three.

The three players set up as shown in Diagram A.

Two players with balls are about 3-4 steps apart

and face third player who begins drill standing

in front of one of the other players.

Player 1 passes to player 3 who returns pass 

and then defensive shuffles in

front of player 2 (Diagram A).

Player 2 then passes to player 3 who returns

pass and then defensive shuffles back in front

of player 1 (Diagram B). This sequence is repeated.

Run for specified time (e.g. 1 minute) and rotate players.

Variations:

1. Specify types of passes to be made.

2. Most passes in specified time (competitive).

Points of Emphasis:

1. Correct defensive footwork (wide then wider).

2. Good crisp passes.

3. Communicate.  Show hands and call “Ball”.
