Build-up play, three passes before the pivot

Play 4v4 on the full futsal court using two goalkeepers. The three outfield players of the building-up team and the three opponents are in the building-up team's half. The pivot and his marker are in the other half.

The goalkeeper starts with a short pass to their own half. The three building-up outfield players must complete three passes among themselves before they are allowed to pass to the pivot. The goalkeeper's initial pass does not count. Once the pivot receives the ball, the attackers may step up to support and the play is finished out. If a defender wins the ball or the attack ends, the teams switch roles. The next build-up starts from the other team's goalkeeper. After the ball goes out of play, the same attack is restarted from the goalkeeper.

Rotation: the goalkeepers stay in their goals. The teams choose a new pivot and marker every few attacks. After the attack ends, the three building-up players take position in their own goalkeeper's half and the pivot in the opponent's half.

In the second phase of the drill, remove the three-pass requirement. The ball may be played to the pivot as soon as the passing lane opens.
