Open to receive pass

The following variations can be performed by players in groups of 3 or 4.

Variation 1:

• Working player receives and returns a pass to supporting partner #1
• The player then turns quickly and runs towards partner #2, receiving and returning the next pass
• Repeat, alternating passes between support partners

Variation 2:

• Working player turns and opens their body to the inside as they receive pass from a supporting partner. They continue their turn to pass the ball to the opposing partner
• After the pass, the player turns back runs across the middle of the passing lane to receive their next pass from their original supporting partner
  • Players should always receive from the same partner. Switching to the other side of the passing lane after each pass ensures they can receive to both feet

• Turning to the same side 
  • Cue "Face the same direction each time you turn"

• Turns and 'opening up' movements train the vestibulo ocular system
• Incorporates acceleration and deceleration movements
• Sport-specific drill to prepare for the session
• Higher-intensity drill to increase heart and breathing rates prior to the beginning of the practice/game
