  • Setup

    Pair-up and allocate each 1/6 of the court and a ball. Pairs elect who will start as worker (A) and feeder (B) who stand 5m apart.

  • Step 1

    (A) runs directly towards (B), stops then performs a change of direction by heading backwards and slightly to the left.
    Turn body around and run with the flight, except head will be turned to watch the ball at all times.

  • Step 2

    (B) throws a lob pass which (A) leaps for and catches
    Perform a two-handed catch
    Landing on both feet gives (A) better balance for the next pass

  • Step 3

    (A) passes back to (B) and then side-steps across to the starting position

  • Step 4

    (A) again runs directly at (B), this time changing direction backwards and to the right

  • Step 5

    Repeat the left-right pattern for 30-45 seconds. Swap roles and repeat.

  • Step 6

    As a progression, attempt a one-handed catch
    Beginners concentrate on making the catch, even if landing isn't elite.
