OFTEN USED WITH...

Wall practice

4 players lined up width wise (equal distance)

1 player starts by throwing the ball into the wall and catching the return to then turn and pass the ball to the next player in line all the way to the other side via every player.

Every player should try to run into the space to receive the ball.

When the ball gets to the end the exercise repeats in the opposite direction.

Wall drills

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

Passing down the axis of the court

position lines of players (or a team) down the court in a straight line, preferably in position order.

The GK faces the back wall away from the court, throws the ball up in the air, rotates, receives and releases the ball to the next player.

The next player up the line drives into space, with a sharp change of direction and also receives, rotates and then releases the ball to the next player up the line.

Group practices

Catch and turn

Working in threes with 1 ball per group.

The 1st player has their back to the others throws the ball up and over their head, turns and catches the ball before then passing to the centre player.

The centre player receives, rotates and releases (3 Rs) to the next player.

The third player then receives the ball and rotates before restarting the drill from the other side.
