  • Setup

    Pair-up with someone around the same height, or direct opponent (e.g. GK & GS). If you have odd numbers make one group of 3 with 1 player sitting out each turn. Choose 1 feeder (C) who can feed throughout or be rotated. Pairs line up behind attackers line (A) and defenders (B). Distribute balls to attackers.
  • Step 1

    (A) starts with the ball and feeds to (C).
  • Step 2

    After passing, (A) must get a return pass from (C) by running to space, whilst closely defender by (B)
    (B) should be aware of a dodge inside
    (A)'s easier reception will be ball-side, so the (B) should expect this
    (B) must use fast footwork and force (A) to receive wide
  • Step 3

    When rejoining the line, optionally rotate attacker and defender.
