Players are to pass to each other in their partners.
The 2 players at the far end (donât have a ball) begin weaving in and out of players down their own side until they get to the opposite end.
Players who have just weaved call for a ball from the far end to get passed to them.
The player and the partner who are now at the far end without the ball begin to weave down themselves.

Full Team Finisher:

Full team cross drill

Set up: 8+ players, one court space, 2 balls.

Players set up in four corners in equal numbers, opposite lines facing each other.

Both balls start on the same side with the person and the front of the line.

Opposing front 2 players drive out on a diagonally and receive a pass from the opposite line.

They turn pass back to the side they came from (but the opposite line). Then immediately become a defender for the person who now has the ball.

The person now at the front of the line, with the ball now delivers a pass to players who have driven out on a diagonal and the drill begins again.
