  • Start with groups of 6 or 7 (max) if possible. Each group has a line marked with 1 cone for every player, spread evenly down the court. Form 2 lines if necessary.
  • (A) starts with an away-facing catch and turn. (B) performs a straight lead and receives (A)'s pass
    Players jump to catch and land sideways, with outer footer same foot as their throwing arm (e.g. RIGHT foot for RIGHT handers)
    A good change of direction will allow the team to progress quickly
  • (B) repeats (A)'s "lead-catch-change direction" movement, before passing to (C)
  • Continue in this fashion the length of the court until the final player receives. They turn towards the vacant baseline and throw a high lob - landing at least 2m away - which they leap to catch.
    This player uses same footwork when catching their own pass.
  • Repeat back up-court in the same fashion.
  • Progression 1: If you have 10 or more players, you can turn this into a fun race - first to complete a number of laps wins.
  • Progression 2: The less people per line, the longer the passes will need to be. Reduce numbers per line to practice longer shoulder passes.
