Set Up:

This drill focuses on passing, communication, receiving, and running to open space.  To set up, place a series of cones in a circle as shown in the diagram.  Player 3 starts with the ball on the edge of the circle, Player 2 is in the middle of the circle, and Player 1 is on the edge of the circle without a ball.  Player 3 passes to Player 2 and then runs to the middle to switch with Player 2.  Player 2 receives the ball and opens up to find Player 1, makes the pass to him, and then runs to any position on the edge of the circle.  Player 1 then passes to Player 3 in the middle of the circle and the drill continues.

Coaching Points:

1. Open up as you receive so that you can see more of the circle.

2. Check your target one more time before you pass.

3. Call for the ball on the outside.

Progressions:

1. Add a passing combination as the players switch into the middle.
