Setup
Step 1 of 3
One player at each corner of the diamond, spares behind. Ball starts at the bottom.
Coaching points
- Pass to the back foot so the receiver can open out.
- First touch across your body, never back where the pass came from.
- Follow your pass at pace — the pattern only works if you keep the corners filled.
- Both directions: swap the rotation every two minutes.
