EQUIPMENT:
Two hit shields, one ball.
GROUP SIZE:
10 players.
AREA:

DRILL EXPLANATION:
- The first player of the first pair runs out with the ball, hits and spins off the hit shield and offloads to the receiver who comes from the ball-carrier's right-hand side.
- The receiver then throws a pass to the player in the next column who repeats the drill with their partner.
- The sequence followed should be: hit, spin, offload, pass, hit, spin, offload etc.
COACHING POINTS:
