Throw ball, run, pass and catch

  • Runs towards the ball,,1x OH, 1x BH and then catch
  • Runs to the ball and touches it anyway : dive

• High tempo and adapt to the player.

• Trainer chooses 4 (or 5) lines and numbers them 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.
• everyone stand on the outer line
• trainer calls out a line number and everyone runs to it

• Until there is a winner.
  • disadvantage of this is, that the lesser runners do not get better, because they fall off first.
