Groups of 4

One ball per group

In threes, handling up a channel, support runner calls self into line, receives a pass, offloads and repeats down the second channel.

Warm up

Agility Slalom - Race:

Set up the cones as shown.

12 Cones with 2 balls.

Start with 2 players on the centre cone, each with a ball, and facing each other. On GO, the both run backwards to the first cone then side step up the grid to the second cone before running through the slalom cones back to the start where the ball is passed to the next players who only go when each player has received a ball.

Warm up

Pass and shuttle:

Players stand in a square by a cone each.

They pass the ball around either clock wise or anti clock wise.

After the player passes the ball they have to follow their pass touch the cone of the player they passed to and get back to their cone before receiving the next pass.
