Resources: Enough balls for 1 ball between 2 participants
Drill Description:
· Players pair off and stand facing each other approximately 2 meters apart.
· One player runs to the side and the other player throws the ball in front of the running player.
· The running player catches the ball, pivots and throws the ball back.
· The player runs to the other side and the steps are repeated.
· After 5 passes each side, swap over. The thrower becomes the runner.
· Repeat so each persons runs and throws twice.

Coaching Points:
· Passes must be in front of the running player to ensure they run onto the ball and don't have to reach backwards or stop to catch the pass.
·
Variations:
· Speed can be picked up for more advanced players.
· Lob passes can be introduced.
· The thrower can call Left, Right, Front or Back and the runner must respond by running in that direction.
Progression:
· The main object is to get the throwers aim better at putting the ball in front of the running player.
