Setup

  1. Two lines of cones 4 m apart down a third of the court.
  2. Pairs stand either side with one ball.

How it runs

  1. Pairs move down the channel passing chest passes, landing and stepping into each pass.
  2. Turn at the end and come back with bounce passes.
  3. Two laps, then swap sides.

Coaching points

  • Fingers spread behind the ball, thumbs down.
  • Step towards your partner as you release.
  • Land, then pass: no footwork fouls.

Common mistakes

  • Passing before the feet are set.
  • Pushing from the elbows only.

Say it: “Land, step, pass.”

Make it harder

  • One-handed shoulder passes.
  • Add a defender in the channel.

Make it easier

  • Stand still for the first lap.
  • Shorten the channel.
