In one third of the court any number of players work with one ball between them.

The aim of the game is for players to pass the ball to each other, whilst one player attempts to catch the player in possession of the ball.

Once the player in possession has been caught players swap roles, with the player who was caught becoming the next catcher.

Players work in pairs with 1 ball. The worker (white) receives the ball from feeder (blue) at shoulder height while moving left and right alternately (approx. 1 metre either side of central position).

Encourage workers to land on their outside foot (ie. on right foot when moving to the right and vice versa) and then step towards feeder with second foot to release the ball.

Drill 1. Start with a gentle jog around the court, throwing in some sidesteps, high knees and heel flicks.

Drill 2. Line up two teams on opposite sides of the court and give each player a number or position. On the coach's call the players who has had their numbers called spint into the center, touch the cone and then run back to their touchline.

Drill 3. Finish with some back and forth running. Players complete 10 runs (there and back) as quickly as possible.

• Split your players into two equal teams and put down an equal number of cones in each final third.
• The two teams compete against one another, trying to take cones/bibs from their opponents area and place them behind their line.
