Setup
Pair-up, create a 5m square and give (B) the ball. For juniors or if new, you may want to start with cones to mark stations.
Step 1
The pattern sees both players consecutively run diagonally across the square to catch a pass down-the-line from the other.
Step 2
Starting with medium intensity, (A) sets-off diagonally across the square towards (3), where they will catch (B)'s pass.
Step 3
(B) runs their diagonal towards (4) where they receive (A)'s pass
Step 4
Work back the other way to complete the loop:-

(A) returns to (1) and receives from (B)

(B) returns to (2) and receives from (A)
Step 5
Work for 30-45 seconds. Pause, remove cone markers if appropriate and reset, now repeat at maximum intensity for a further 30-45 seconds.

Leap forward to catch the ball at pace

Maintain good footwork and balance for the next throw

With cone markers gone, players need to be honest and receive laterally
