Position players in established positions if possible (GS & GK opposite ends). Explain the idea is to make the ball travel the least distance (in a straight line) down the court.
(A) starts from defence by passing directly down court to (B) who runs centrally from a wide position
Use flat and hard shoulder passes
After passing, quickly return to your cone
(B) catches, turns and passes to (C) who has run from a central position
The ball should barely change trajectory
Complete the line of throws with:-
(C) to (D) presenting from wide
(D) to (E) presenting from centre
Wait for (D) to return to position and repeat in the opposite direction, with (E) starting proceedings
If you have odd players sitting out, sub them in after a 60-90 seconds.
Progression 1: Change the types of pass used, or throwing arm for advanced teams.
Progression 2: If you have 10 players, make it a race up-and-back between two lines with same cone layout on opposing wings
Police that (D) returns to their cone before they can receive the return pass from (E)
