Drive and Turn:

Players work in pairs with 1 ball, standing 2 metres apart.

  1. The worker drives forward and touches the ball in feeder's hand.
  2. They then angle their body to the right and move back 3-4 steps.
  3. The feeder places the ball on the worker's right hand side.
  4. The worker retrieves the ball and is then passed back to feeder.

Ball skills
One Handed Pass and Catch | Warm ups

One Handed Pass and Catch:

One player always passes the ball straight and the other always passes the ball diagonally.

Both players are catching and throwing the ball with one hand and at shoulder height.

Warm ups
3 straight forward running evasions | Footwork

3 straight forward running evasions:

1. Double cut back:

WA runs one way, stops abruptly and changes direction before again changing direction for a second time to go and meet the pass.

2. Cut back:

WA runs one way, stops quickly - changes direction and runs into space to meet the pass.

3. Double bluff:

WA runs and stops, making it look as though they are going to cut back before continuing their run in the direction they were already running to meet the pass.

Footwork
3 v 2 to score | Footwork
