Drill
Support the Pass Drill
A moving passing drill to promote third man support and well-weighted short passing. Pairs go down the line, using positioned teammates for quick set passes for up-back-through action.
Setup
Long, narrow rectangle (cones on corners), and three cones in a line in the middle (~5-10 yds apart) - larger space is easier Three players go in the middle (one per cone), and rest of players divide evenly. Run drill with one ball.
Instructions
- A pair on one sides start the play and run together, serving up passes to each of the three central teammates on cones
- Middle players can choose whether to return the pass or switch sides based on arrival of pass and player positions
- When they reach the other side
Progressions
- Touch restrictions
- Must use third man each time
- Must return set pass and then square to third man each time
Coaching Emphasis
Time your runs in support and weight your passes in-line, for quick receiving by teammate
