Players line up in pairs facing each other with about 5 metres between them. The attacking player dribbles towards the defending player. As they approach the defender they should make the move to throw the ball. It is the defender's job to push the ball away as the attacker goes to throw, using the hand that is closest to the ball.

Players work in groups of 6. Blue 1 and 2, and blue 3 and 4 alternately pass the ball back and forth in their pairs. The job for the defenders is to move out to try and intercept the ball. They can also then put pressure on the attacker and try to snatch the ball from their hands. After the attacker has passed the ball players retreat back to the middle and repeat on other side. Swap pairs around every 2 minutes.

4 attackers, 2 defenders and 1 ball. Attackers stand in a square and pass the ball in a clockwise direction. The defenders' job is to run out and put pressure on the attacker. They know where the pass is going so their job is to hassle the attacker and try to dispossess them.

Blue players must try and switch the ball from one side of the court to the other, by passing it to each player. The red players are trying to intercept the pass. Blue players must play the ball in front of the receiving player for them to run onto and then pass on again.
