REACTION DRILL

 

Worker and thrower face each other approx. 2 metres apart. Worker need only move 2 steps to either side to retrieve a variety of passes in quick succession. Worker must pit-a-pat to ready to go in either direction.


Coaching points:
· Worker must attack the ball and pull it into the chest
· Eye to ball contact
· Stance is balanced, not too broad and ready to move
Progression:
· Thrower has two balls, one in either hand, passes are pushed back and forward with one hand (thrower's right hand to worker's left etc)
