Support play in a Grid


OBJECTIVE:	This exercise introduces supporting runs to your beginning-level players.
DESCRIPTION:	Three players, one with a ball, are positioned at different corners of a 10 x 10 yard grid. The player with a ball passes across the grid to a supporting player. After he makes the pass, the third player moves to a supporting position (the unoccupied corner of the grid). This gives the player with the ball two passing options. He passes to either corner player, and play continues with players moving to support the receiver after each pass.
VARIANT:	Limit players to only two touches, so supporting runs must be made quickly.
