Bounce to the third player

Organisation

A1 and A2 start behind a line, A3 beyond it. B1 screens the direct lane to A3; B2 defends behind. Two end gates are the targets.

Execution

A3 may bounce but cannot carry away. After a bounce one supporter may cross the line. A pass to that runner followed by a controlled end-gate crossing scores. After a regain B may carry over the start line. Restart at A1 on out-of-bounds; rotate target and defensive roles after four attacks.

Coaching

• Draw a defender towards the direct lane first.
• The third player starts when the bounce becomes available.
• Which pass changed B1’s viewing direction?

Easier

B2 guards only one end gate.

Harder

B1 and B2 may exchange depth; A chooses the bounce player.

What to observe

Count attacks in which a third player receives beyond the line facing forward.

Equipment

Sticks, one active ball, spare balls outside the area and cones; mini-goals where drawn. Dimensions and duration are adaptable starting proposals.
