Landing Shuttles | Footwork

Landing Shuttles:

2 Feeders and 1 worker.

  1. The worker receives the ball from one of the feeders and passes it diagonally to the other feeder.

  2. Worker then moves across to receive the ball back from the second feeder.

  3. Repeat.

It's very important that the worker lands on the outside foot every time she catches the ball to be able to step with the other foot towards her next intended pass.

ICE CREAM | Footwork

ICE CREAM:

This is a very simple relay practice with the emphasise on the player running in catching the ball and landing on one foot and then the next. The players are required to say ICE with first foot touching the floor and Cream when the2nd foot hits the ground. then pass and follow the ball to the other side.

Pass and Return | Passing

Pass and Return:

Red player 1 passes the ball to Blue player 1, and then runs forward to receive a return pass from Blue player 1. Red player 1 passes to Blue player 2, receives return pass and then passes the ball to Red player 2, and joins line behind Red player 2.

Passing
Catch pivot and pass relay | Footwork

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.
