Shuffle Triangle

Steps

1. 01Set three cones in a triangle 8-10 ft apart and start at the base cone in a low athletic posture.
2. 02A coach or feeder tosses to a different cone each rep; shuffle (never cross your feet) to arrive behind and beneath the ball before it drops.
3. 03Beat the ball to the spot, present the platform out early, and contact only from a stopped, balanced base, weight forward, no passing on the move.
4. 04Angle the platform back to one fixed target (setter position) on every rep no matter which cone you started from.
5. 05Recover to the base cone between reps; complete 12-15 passes with every contact from a planted, balanced stance.

Common mistakes

• Crossing the feet or reaching sideways instead of shuffling to get the midline behind the ball.
• Passing while still drifting, which makes the platform swing and the ball sail.
• Standing upright between reps and arriving late and high on the ball.
