Number Run

Divide your group into three equal groups. Play starts with the ball at the bottom end of the triangle, while the two players at the other end will come forward ready to offer to receive a pass. Once the ball is passed, the player who didn't receive the ball should drive to be in space to receive another pass. Finally the player who started with the ball needs to make a move to receive the pass. Once all three players have received the ball the ball is passes to the next group of players, ready for the drill to start again. This drill is ideal for teaching players to offer a passing option to their team-mates.

Divide your group into three equal groups and add two defenders inside the triangle. The three attackers attempt to keep the ball between them, driving after they pass to move and be available for the return pass. Play starts with the ball at the bottom end of the triangle, while the two players at the other end will come forward ready to offer to receive a pass. Once the ball is passed, the player who didn't receive the ball should drive to be in space to receive another pass. Finally the player who started with the ball needs to make a move to receive the pass. Once all three players have received the ball the ball is passes to the next group of players, ready for the drill to start again. This drill is ideal for teaching players to offer a passing option to their team-mates.

Max 12 players. Triangle set-up. 1 ball 1 player from front of each line drives into the centre of the triangle to pass and receive the ball. The ball must be received by all three players and then sent back to the original person before the next 3 players come i

Set up: Players set up in 4 corners 8+ players 2 balls in diagonally opposite corners Players without the balls and at the front of diagonally oppsite lines are the workers. Workers drive out and receive a pass from their left. Worker turns and passes back to the line they came from. Workers then drives back towards the line they came from to receive a short 'anywhere' pass (drop, high, bounce). Worker then drives to their left to receive a long over head ball and passes to the line they were driving towards. Passer sends a long flat ball to worker who then finishes off with a pass to the opposite line they originally started from.

Players work with one ball in pairs inside a square area. The player without a ball (Red 1) sprints across the box to receive the ball on the other side. Player 1 then turns as they receive the pass. Red 2 then runs across to receive ball on the other side etc. Make sure players are balanced and are in control before they make the next pass. The worker must not move across the square until the feeder is ready to release the ball.

To practice running off the ball players work in pairs, with 1 ball between 2. The stipulation for this drill is that one player can only pass square whereas the other one can only straight forward. After each pass the player has to run across to the next cone to be able to receive the next ball and continue the movement.

Equipment: 2 balls, half court space, 6+ players. 4 players stand as posts in a square as set out in video. Approximatly half way down 1/3 and near halfway. 2 other players, the workers, start on the baseline with the balls, one each.  Workers pass ball out to first posts on a diagonal and follow the pass to recieve a short pass from first post. Workers then pass straight on to the second posts and follow the pass.  Second post players toss a high ball for the workers to catch. Workers stay put and the second post players run down court to recieve a long pass to the point of the first posts. First posts move down and will become the workers in the next round. 

Split group into 3 equal teams. Ideally 6 per team. 1 team is the attackers, 1 team are defenders, 1 team is resting off the court. Split court in half. Half of the defence and attack are restricted to defending half of court while the rest of the players are restricted to attacking half of the court. 1 A starts with the ball on the baseline. Attackers have 5 minutes to get the ball to the other end of the court and score as many times as they can. If the ball is tipped, intercepted or dropped the ball is taken back to the start. After 5 minutes, defenders become attackers, attackers come off to rest, resting team become defenders.

Set up two feeders facing each other - approximately 5m apart  Two workers will start in the middle in a staggered position - so they are balancing the court  Both players will drive for the ball The feeder can choose which player to pass to  The player who does not receive the ball must change direction and drive hard down court to recieve the ball from their partner  The player will pass the ball off to the other feeder  This repeats - both players will re offer for the ball  The practice is continuous - players should work for a certain time or number of reps

Get into pairs with one ball  One player will be the feeder (F) and the other will be the worker (A) The worker will drive forward towards the feeder (as if they were making an attacker) They will then cut back on a angle to receive a looped ball from the feeder - this is to stimulate the idea of getting an interception whilst going back on an angle Repeat on the other side  Complete 8 reps (4 each side) 

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON* Set up : Half court, 3 stationary feeders, 3 balls, 1 attacker, 1-3 defence. Feeders are placed in an extended triangle formation. Each feeder has a ball. Attacker drives out from transverse line to first feeder where a pass is received, attacker returns pass and moves around the feeder. Attacker does so with the other two feeders in the extended triangle formation creating a 'zig zag'. Attacker works her way through the 'zig zag' in both directions without errors.
