Set Up:

The three players begin passing and moving. When a color is called, that player becomes the defender. The game is now 2v1, and this continues until either the coach shouts “Pass and Move” or the defender wins possession of the ball.  If either occurs, the players resume passing and moving as a three. Within this practice, the coach encourages the attackers to run at the defender and use the disguised passes.  One of the reasons that possession may be lost to a defender is the poor weight of the pass; as such the coach should talk to his/her players about playing their passes with fast pace.  This will make it less likely that a defender will intercept the pass while also improving the control of the player receiving the ball.

Coaching Points:

1.   Play passes with the forward foot within the rhythm of the dribble.

2.   Strike your passes at game speed.

3.   Always read the play and want the ball.
