OFTEN USED WITH...

Carrying Cone Warm Up:

Split your players into two equal teams and put down an equal number of cones in each final third.
The two teams compete against one another, trying to take cones/bibs from their opponents area and place them behind their line.

Warm ups

10 passes to score:

1 team starts with the ball and tries and make 10 consecutive passes. The other team can send 1 or 2 players across to try and win the ball for their side.

If the other team wins possession back for their team the roles reverse in other area (10 passes scores a point.)

Small games

Ball Collection - Reflex test:

Both players move in the same direction with the feeder moving backwards.

The feeder must play the ball to any side of the receiving player, within arm's reach, for them to react to, collect and pass back as quickly as possible.

Players progress like this from one side of the court to the other, taking short fast steps, staying up on the balls of their feet.

Warm ups

Additional defence:

The first team starts with the ball inside the attacking third, with all the other players except one stood outside the area.

The aim for the team in the area with the ball is to complete as many sets of 5 passes as possible. Every time they complete 5 passes another defender from outside the area is allowed in to try and intercept the ball.

Once all of the defending players have entered the playing area, or after an interception has been made, the teams change over and try to beat the first teams score.
