  • The individual players of Groups A and B stand between five and 10 metres apart. Each player of Group A starts with a ball.

DRILL EXPLANATION:

  1. Player 1 of Group C runs/jogs down between Groups A and B receiving passes from Group A and passing on to the players opposite in Group B.
  2. With the balls now with Group B, player 2 in Group C links a pass from Group B to Group A, player 3 in Group C then links a pass from Group A to Group B.
  3. When all players from Group C have gone through the drill, they run around the outside and join the end of Group C.
  4. The drill continues.
