- 5 cones positioned around the net, top near the box
- Player should pop-out or pop towards the ball to mimic getting open
- Move the ball around the net, catch on the outside, turn, switch hands and pass on the outside
- Move your feet to get ready to receive the ball
- Run to the line you pass to
- Quicker we move the ball the tougher the defense can recover
- Receive the pass, one or two craddles, then make accurate pass
- Variation: Use a long pole as a limbo GB, coach places ball, player drops their ball

3 on 3 - Rule of 3
This drill teaches the importance of attacking the ball and communicating with your team mates.
- 6 players are used for the drill, 3 per team
- The rule of 3 is one player goes for man, the other ball, the last hovers and circles called the shark
- A coach rolls a ball out and the players call man, ball, and the 3rd person hovers/circles to try and get the ball if its kicked out.
- The “man” player looks to box out the closet competitor
- The “ball” player runs through the ball and tries to scoop it, if its not possible, the player looks to flip the ball out to the 3rd player hovering and circling.
- The 3rd player (shark) runs in half circles or full circles around the scrum looking to get a ball kicked out to them.
