Attackers drive in different directions and the feeder has to pass the ball to the attacker who the defender chooses to mark.Split lead: start staggered, front attacker leads.

Continuous Split Lead Passing ...

This is a split lead drill, run continuously.Set up two lines of players at each end of a third. Play will be started by the coach who will be the first Feeder, stood in the middle. The 2 Attackers from the top of court will run forward and the Feeder will pass to one of them. The other will then run to where the Feeder was stood to receive the next pass.This Attacker then becomes the Feeder for the opposite side, passing the ball before going to join the back of the queue on that side with the other original Attacker.

Lead & Drive drill what happens when you add the 2nd centre?

The lead & drive drill looks good but does not add the 2nd centre which would obviously be standing in front of the GA, with the defence either side effectively blocking the GA off from advancing forward or sideways - any suggestions?

In the circle when shooter keeps splitting to get closer and continues to hit the defender in the ankle with their split foot is this ok? I've heard many times that you need to give the player space to land but this player just keeps splitting and actually hitting me in the ankle with their foot because I don't even have time to move :(
