One Handed Pass and Catch | Warm ups

One Handed Pass and Catch:

One player always passes the ball straight and the other always passes the ball diagonally.

Both players are catching and throwing the ball with one hand and at shoulder height.

Warm ups
Moving Spider | Zone defence

Moving Spider:

The feeder passes the ball to the working player (blue 1).

The passes should be varied (short, wide and high).

Blue 1 must move to the ball as early as possible and pass it back to the feeder before returning to their starting postion - ready to go again!

Zone defence
One handed passing | Ball skills

One handed passing:

  • Stand about 2 metres apart.
  • In pairs with one ball between two.
  • 1 ball, 2 players face each other. Both players pass the ball to their partners right hand then change to the left.
    Progressions
  • Change the height of the ball (e.g from shoulder to waist)
  • Add movement - forwards/backwards/sideways. Move as a pair.
  • Add 2 balls

    • Ball skills
    Reactions | Ball skills

    Reactions:

    The worker stands, knees bent slightly and both hands on ears.

    The feeder holds the ball still in front of the worker's face and drops it - the worker has to catch it before it hits the floor.
