Triangle Passing 3v3

Instructions

1. 1A1 passes to A2 at center while A2 immediately relays the ball down to A3
2. 2A1 cuts diagonally right after passing, filling the upper lane
3. 3A3 returns the ball to A1 who has repositioned on the right side
4. 4A1 drives on a long weaving run through the center toward goal
5. 5A1 finishes with a jump shot from the shooting zone near the right side

Coaching Points

• Triangle spacing must be maintained — no two attackers in the same zone
• Ball moves faster than any defender runs — use quick one-touch passes
• Middle player must scan both sides before receiving — know the next pass before it arrives
• Cutter fills the vacated spot immediately — keep the triangle shape intact
• The shot opportunity comes when the defense collapses to help — trust the system

Common Mistakes

• Triangle shape collapses as players drift toward the ball instead of maintaining spacing
• Passes are too slow — defenders recover between each ball movement
• Players pass to the closest teammate instead of the one with the best angle
• Off-ball players stand still instead of re-positioning to maintain the triangle
• Shot selection is poor — players shoot from bad angles instead of circulating for a better one
