Diagram and Steps

heading
  • (A) starts on the baseline with the ball, (B) the player who will run backwards stands facing them approximately 1m into the court.
  • (A) and (B) exchange quick chest passes, with (A) running forwards and (B) running backwards.
    (B) needs to throw harder than normal to compensate for their backwards momentum
    Players cannot 'step' so must pass quickly upon receiving
    Pairs retain the same distance apart (1m) as they run
  • When the opposite baseline is reached, reverse directions so both players have a turn running backwards.
  • Progress by throwing a lobb pass
