All principles

In Possession

Create triangles

Position yourself so the player on the ball always has at least two passing options.

Why it matters

Triangles mean there is never a dead end — if one pass is blocked the other is on.

Coaching cues

  • Angle, not a straight line
  • Two options always
  • Move to be seen
