4 Corners - Short Long:

One ball, 1/3 space, 6 players.

4 feeders form a square.

1 defender and 1 attacker work in the middle of the square.

Attacker is to pass and recieve one short pass and one long pass from each corner.

Movement

Catch pivot and pass relay:

The starting player passes the ball to the player moving towards the ball from the opposite group.

The receiving player who catches the ball should land on 1 foot, then land on their 2nd foot and pivot onto their 1st landing foot to pass the ball back the player on the side where they started.

Exercise reverses in the other direction.

Footwork

1-2 Taking on two defenders:

One A starts with the ball. She passes to her partner who has made a move to get past a defender.
First A then moves, taking on the other defender to receive the ball back from her partner, a 1-2 passing pattern.
A then passes to another A at the front of the opposite line to where she started.
Defenders mark tightly.
Working As line up at the back of the opposite line to where they started.
New As repeat.
