- pairs practice passing, receiving non-stick side, across to open-stick side then return & swap
- alternative: increase/decrease area, add defender, from the side
- player accelerates towards ball carrier & turns to right as ball is released
- sideways (right foot as back foot)
- move on balls of feet enables a quick change of direction
- receive ball from just behind left foot whilst moving
- then pull ball across body from left to right
- stick angled to cushion ball upon impact
- stick upright position (same as when dribbling)
- move ball to open stick side asap to increase control
