  • Setup

    Groups of 3 each require 1/6 of court space. Trio choose an attacker (A), defender (B) and feeder (C) who is 5m away.
  • Step 1

    (C) starts with the ball and lobs, making it an even contest between (A) and (B)
  • Step 2

    (A) and (B) both attempt to win possession
    Jump with both feet for maximum height
    Tapping the ball upwards to advantage is a method to use if the pass is slightly towards the other player
  • Step 3

    The player who loses the contest must pressure the passer and make their opponents return pass back to (C) difficult
  • Step 4

    Repeat for 1 minute, then rotate roles.
    Optionally try using bounce passes, although these are more physical.
