In this whiteboard session, Sam Jones of Virginia Wesleyan University breaks down a high-tempo 3v3 “Rambo” Drill designed to build the foundation of riding, clearing, and ground ball decision-making.
Key takeaways include:
- Starting every rep with a contested ground ball to reinforce possession-first habits
- Creating positional awareness through 3v3 play from behind and up top
- Teaching offensive spacing and support immediately after a GB win
- Encouraging quick outlet decisions to capitalize on unsettled opportunities
- Building tempo early in practice while emphasizing core riding and clearing principles
By structuring the drill around ground ball competition and transition awareness, coaches can reinforce the cornerstones of possession, spacing and tempo, helping players make smarter decisions the moment the ball hits the turf.
