  • Setup

    Pairs stand approximately 3m apart facing one another, with 4-5m of space to the next pair. Player (A) works the sidelines / baselines.

  • Step 1

    (A & B) exchange chest passes while moving clockwise or (anti-clockwise as per diagram) around the court.
    Always face your partner and a quick side-step
    Pass slightly ahead of player so movement is fluent
    Try to retain spacing between pairs. (A) must speed-up while (B) tread waters around corners so (A) can make up the extra distance without delaying other pairs

  • Step 2

    After 20-30 seconds of travelling in one direction, shout 'change!' which signals a change of direction.

  • Step 3

    Progression for intermediate teams: (B) moves to be 5m inside the court. Use shoulder passes.
    Shoulder passes are quite challenging to throw accurately with while moving sideways.
