In pairs, with feeders on the outside, with space behind them, and workers in the middle. First person works continuously for 45 seconds then swap over to become feeder (active recovery). Repeat each task twice. Drive forward for short, flat pass, return, circle the feeder and then run forward demonstrating a change of pace. As soon as opposite feeder recognises a drive towards them, they will release a flat, straight pass. Workers should go in same direction to avoid collisions; on second run through, go the opposite direction. As above but one feeder gives a low, roll ball which worker should collect securely and return with a hard straight pass; the other feeder gives lifted pass which the worker must pluck out of air as soon as they can. 5 anywheres from each feeder then to opposite feeder.
Obvious change of pace for the drive phase Feet underneath body Fast and light on feet Shoulders/hips facing direction of travel Good ball handling Strong 2 handed take Strong passes Quick release Feed accuracy
