1. 2 players per 2 cones. Receive ball on forehand, switch ball to your reverse side and return pass to receiver's forehand with a reverse slap.
Variation: Same as above, but return pass using an upright reverse push.
2. Receive ball on your reverse side with a reverse block, do a double drag L>R and R>L, then return the pass on your reverse with a slap.
Variation: receive the ball and return the pass with an upright reverse pass.
3. Player1 dribbles to left of cone B, drags right of cone B, then without turning round, plays a no-look pass back to Player2, who returns the pass. Player1 dribbles to cone C, turns, does a double drag R>L then L>R behind cone C, and passes back to Player2 at cone A. Player2 does the same with Player3.
Variation: Same as above, but Player1 does a double drag at both cones.
These activities practise use of the reverse stick (block, slap, upright push).
