Groups of four or five pass round a 20×20 m diamond and follow the ball, progressing to wall passes and a third-man pattern.
Rules

- Pass and follow, 3 min each direction
- Wall pass at the side cones, receive the return on the half-turn and play forward
- Third-man pattern: bottom to top, lay-off to the side, forward into the starter's run
- Moderate continuous pace, 30 s drink break between variations
To make it easier
- Two touches allowed
- Bigger diamond
To make it harder

Coaching points
