  • Setup

    Groups of 4 require a 5x5m square divided in half by a transverse line. Group elects 2 feeders (A & B) who stand 1m outside the square. Catcher (C) can go anywhere inside the square behind defender (D), who must remain ball side of the transverse line.
  • Step 1

    Each contest will have one feeder, (A) to start with. The second inactive feeder (B) becomes a defender when they're not feeding.
  • Step 2

    (A) must perform a perfectly weighted lob pass over (D)'s head for (C) to catch. If the pass is good, (B) who runs back to the cone to receives (C)'s pass.
    (D) must remain ball side of the transverse line
    (D) should drop back and play sagging defence, however can try to pressure the passer
    (C) should hold position, then lunge for the catch, as if protecting the space from (D)
  • Step 3

    The pass can be intercepted:-
    By (D) if too short - give ball to (B) and prepare for next turn if this happens
    By (B) if too long
  • Step 4

    Players now reset and work back the other way:-
    This time (B) feeds and (A) becomes the second defender
    (C) pressures the opposite end of square, in front of (B)
  • Step 5

    After 4 turns, everyone goes to the next station (A to B, B to C, etc) and restart.
  • Step 6

    Progression 1: Increase the distance (A) and (B) feed from.
  • Step 7

    Progression 2: Allow (D) to apply more pressure by moving anywhere to intercept the lob.
    (D) must still start from the front half, so (C) should hold to protect the space behind
