Goal: warming-up in trios by means of  a pepper (pass/set-up/attack) in which players need their attention and concentration.

1. player B attacks on A, walks on, joins behind player A
2. player A gives pass to C
3. player C gives set up on A
4. and again

• Player A attacks on C, walks on, following the ball, and joins after player C...etc....

• You can then still vary, 
  • walk on to pass and 
  • walk on after set up. 
• The players have to keep thinking and find a new rhythm
• tip: when a trio thinks it is too hard, let them name the action out loud... pass/setup/attack and on ....
