This drill is a five-pass combination that should be completed at maximum intensity, with very short periods of rest between repetitions. The first, second and fifth passes are all on extension, and should be passed hard out in front of the worker with a strong shoulder pass, forcing them to drive hard and attack the ball. The forward high ball needs to be snatched out of the air with two hands and pulled in before landing, and then passed back. Players will often tap the ball down to the passer from above their head, but we should look to promote good game habits, with a strong rip out of the air, bringing the ball to ground and passing back properly. On the lob into the backspace, look for players to elevate strongly, grab the ball at the highest point possible with two hands, and control their landing

The early 'shoot from anywhere' era is over. Smart teams now use data-driven decision models to decide when the two-pointer is worth it.
The short pass is being penalised more consistently in 2026. Here's how to train proper passing technique and eliminate hand-offs under pressure.
No more 50/50 toss-ups. When simultaneous infringements occur, possession now goes to the team that last had the ball. Here's what it means for your coaching.
