Your focus
Forcing all players to handle the ball before shooting teaches ball-sharing instincts and prevents early settling for individual play. It trains the communication needed to coordinate a quick sequence under pressure.
Three offensive players versus two defenders set up at midfield.
Offense initiates the fast break. All three must possess the ball before the final shot.
A shot without all three touching the ball earns no goal, even if it goes in.
Run 8 fast breaks and track how many result in successful team goals.
Helpful cues
- Talk to each other, call for the ball with purpose
- Pass to the open teammate first, not the closest teammate
- Be patient: a completed sequence always beats a forced individual shot
