Deflected Shots.
Start on strong side. Player A hot steps it through the ladder then collects a ball whilst Player B makes a leading run towards Player A.
Player A passes the ball to Player B, Player B turns and runs back to their starting position.
Player C makes a run to goal (posts up) and Player B makes a pass across the 'D' for Player C to deflect in.
Player C then runs out to join the back of the opposite ladder queue, Player B becomes the goal deflector and Player A becomes the passer.
The sides alternate turns, strong side then reverse until everyone has had a go.
Start Player B and C static before getting them to make leading runs (i.e. timing their movement and runs off the ball correctly).
Player B can recieve the ball by letting it run across their body so that when they make first contact it is on their strong side before making the pass across the 'D'
