Objective

Execute a rehearsed 4-player passing pattern to build combination play fluency.

Equipment

  • Ball
  • Cones

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set four cones in a diamond, 10 yards per side. One player at each cone.

  2. 2

    A plays to B, B lays to C, C switches to D, D plays back to A. All players rotate clockwise after the ball completes the cycle.

  3. 3

    Run for 5 minutes, then reverse the direction.

  4. 4

    Target: complete 10 cycles with no misplaced passes.

Coaching Points

  • Every pass should be played to the front foot of the receiver.
  • Move to the next cone immediately after passing — do not watch the ball.
  • Vary the speed each cycle — slow, medium, fast.

Variations

  • Add a one-touch rule throughout.
  • Expand to 5 players with a central pivot.
