  • 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
