Set Up:
Player 1 dribbles from the cone to the gate at the other end of the field. After turning thru the gate, Player 1 dribbles into the center to combine with Player 2, who has made his run thru the gate on the opposite side. Player 1 wall passes with Player 2, then passes to Player 4 to begin the next turn. Play continues with Players 3 and 4 moving thru the gates before combining in the center of the field and ending with a pass to Player 5. After five minutes, the drill is switched, running counter-clockwise thru the gates.
Coaching Points:
1. Timing – The support player should get thru the gate first in order to initiate the combination.
2. Communication – Use verbal and visual cues to help determine which combination is on.
3. Speed of Play – Play one touch passes when you can, use two touches when you should.
Progressions/Regressions:
Progression 1 – Add the overlap and the takeover as other possible combinations.
