One-Touch Set, Third-Man Go — Bounce Through the Line

Set up a 15×12m area. Player A starts at the back, Player B in the middle, Player C at the side. Player A passes to Player B. Player B one-touch sets back to Player A (bounce). Player A plays to Player C. Player C one-touch plays through the line for Player A who has made a run. Player A receives and dribbles to the end. Rotate positions. 6 reps per player in each role, rest 45s.

1. Player B's set is soft and side-on — not a pass, a redirect. 2. Player A must move immediately after the bounce — don't wait for the through ball. 3. Player C's through ball is weighted — not too hard, not too soft. 4. The timing: A passes, B sets, A moves, C plays — all in quick succession. 5. One-touch sets require a firm ankle and a soft surface — cushion the ball. 6. After the through ball, A accelerates to receive in stride.

• Add a passive defender on the line — the through ball must go past them.
• Limit all passes to one-touch — no settling.

• Use two-touch throughout — more time to execute.
• Remove the through ball — just practice the bounce (A to B, B back to A).
