Principles
- Stick to stick
- Ball pace
- Move body around the ball
- Timed
- Bigger lane length
- Cone in middle which they have to go left or right to
- Place an object across the middle of the relay so the players have to dribble and pass around it.
- Ask the players to identify the best way to be successful. Receive, carry and pass are three important elements.
- Give the teams a set time to complete as many cumulative successful repetitions as possible. Returning to zero after every mistake!
