Objective:
Player (A) passes the ball to (C).  (C) lays the ball back to oncoming (A).  Player (A) plays the ball to (B) at the opposite end of the grid.  Player (B) passes the ball back to (A) for the sequence to be repeated in the opposite direction.  The middle player constantly changes.  The sequence continues for a designated period of time or for a predetermined number of reps.

Progression:

(1) One-touch restriction for all players.

  • The weight of the pass must be appropriate.
  • The lay-off must encourage your teammate to come forward on to the ball.
