DESCRIPTION

To start the drill 1 of the outside players throw their ball to the player in the middle who has to return the ball the player who did not have a ball before the ball was thrown.

The middle player then rotates to receive the next ball and the drill continues in this way.

COACHING POINTS

The middle player needs to talk to make it clear which player is throwing the ball to them next (call their name, signal with their hands and make eye contact).
