Groups of 4 each require a 4x6m rectangle. Group elect 2 workers (A & B) and 2 stationary feeders (C & D) who both have a ball. (D) faces towards top-of-diagram, away from everyone else.
The basic rhythm for this drill is:-
Feeders perform two 1-2 passes in-front (never diagonally) with alternate workers
Feeders about-face and repeat on the cone behind. (D) controls left side, (C) right.
(A) moves: Diagonal, lateral, diagonal, lateral. (B) moves: Lateral, diagonal, lateral, diagonal - 1 station behind (A)
Movement 1: (A & B) start in unison:
(A) runs diagonally to (4) and exchanges a 1-2 pass with (D)
(B) runs laterally to (1) and exchanges a 1-2 pass with (C)
(C) about-faces to cone (3) - hereafter the about-face will be done after 2 passes forward
Movement 2:
(A) runs laterally to (3) and exchanges a 1-2 pass with (C)
(B) runs diagonally to (4) and exchanges a 1-2 pass with (D). Note that (B) always follows (A)'s previous move.
(D) about-faces to cone (2)
Movement 3:
(A) runs diagonally to (2) and exchanges a 1-2 pass with (D)
(B) runs laterally to (3) and exchanges a 1-2 pass with (C)
(C) about-faces
Movement 4: Completes the loop
(A) runs laterally to (1) and exchanges a 1-2 pass with (C)
(B) runs diagonally to (2) and exchanges a 1-2 pass with (D)
(D) about-faces
Rotate feeders and workers after 30-60 seconds.
Work for longer to test skills under duress.
