Hi Sue-Ann!
- As a quick warm up exercise: Begin with players standing in a circle. Two balls are passed around the circle and players must call out a teammate's name before passing the ball, and listen out for their name to know when a ball is passed being passed to them.
- Also you could try this Sportplan communication drill:
Build Communication on Court
DESCRIPTION
Player 1 turns their back to players 2 and 3 and receives the ball from X. On receiving the ball player 1 pivots. Players 2 and 3 both make strong sideways movements, but only 1 of them calls for the ball. Player 1 passes to this player.
