3v1 Keep Away

PURPOSE

The purpose of this simple keep away game is to recognize and go to open space, passing, and defensively controlling passing lanes.

HOW TO

• Set up 4 cones in a square, no more than 8 feet apart in any vertical or horizontal direction.
• Place 3 players on 3 of the 4 cones and one player in the middle.
• Players on the perimeter must pass between themselves and utilize the empty cone to become an option.
• Players should NOT pass through the box because it doesn’t usually foster the concept of moving to space to become an option. Rather, it tends to reinforce making forced passes through traffic.
