  • Cones below at a distance of 10 metres.
  • Cones on the side, 3 metres from the 16-metre line and 5 metres down.
Execution
  • Player A stands 10 metres from the cones.
  • A plays the ball to the incoming Player B and immediately runs to the side past the defender.
  • B lays the ball off to A and returns to his starting position.
  • As soon as B lays the ball off, C starts running to pass the full-back.
  • A plays the ball into the path of C.
  • C passes the last man and lays the ball back to B.
  • B finishes.
  • A becomes B, B becomes C, and C retrieves the ball and joins the back of the line, then switches to the other side.
Coaching Moment
  • A must continue running immediately after the pass.
  • B must create space to request the ball and then choose position directly.
  • C must start at the right moment and not stand too deep to avoid being too close to the central defender.
