Lay out 3 cones in a triangle shape. The distance between the cones should be 10 – 15 yards, depending on the age and ability of the players.

To start the practice, Player A passes to player B and follows to support the pass. Player B initially checks away from the ball, before checking back to receive the pass. Player B sets the ball for player A to pass across the front of the cone into the supporting run of player B. Player A takes the place of player B, practice is repeated round the triangle
