Triangle Rapid Exchange Network

Instructions

1. 1Triangle 1 starts: P1 passes to P2 and moves to center on the left side
2. 2Triangle 2 begins moments later: P4 passes to P5 at center court
3. 3Triangle 3 follows: P7 passes to P8 on the right side
4. 4Each triangle cycles independently: P2 to P3 to P1, P5 to P6 to P4, P8 to P9 to P7
5. 5All three triangles pass simultaneously with staggered timing

Coaching Points

• Each triangle must maintain its own tempo — don't get distracted by the adjacent triangles
• Players at the overlap points must be especially sharp; they influence two triangles simultaneously
• Call out your triangle number before passing between triangles to avoid confusion
• Keep passes flat and fast — airborne passes create timing gaps across all three triangles
• After mastering fixed triangles, add a trigger word to send the ball between triangles

Common Mistakes

• Adjacent triangles falling into each other's rhythm instead of maintaining independent tempo
• Overlap players confusing which triangle they are currently passing for
• Passes between triangles are lobbed instead of flat and fast
• No verbal call when transitioning the ball between triangles, causing confusion
• One triangle stopping when an error occurs in another, breaking all three rhythms
