Explanation
  • Player B requests the ball by unbalancing the active defender and sprinting to the blue cone.
  • Player A passes to B, B passes to C with the active defender at his back, C passes to D.
  • D lays the ball wide and C finishes.
  • If the active defender captures the ball, he may score.
  • The player who loses possession must try to regain the ball.
  • The exercise ends as soon as one of the parties scores.
Rotation
  • A becomes defender, defender becomes B, B becomes C, C becomes D, and D joins the back of the line.

Coaching Moments
