Hand over crossing runners

Organisation

Two attackers against two defenders. Two receiving boxes at the far end. Attackers start on different sides and may cross freely.

Execution

A scores with a pass to a teammate in a receiving box; carrying in does not count. B scores with a regain controlled outside the boxes. After a point or out-of-bounds restart A on the other flank. Defenders call ball or runner before each attempt; swap teams after four attempts.

Coaching

• Keep the ball in view during a handover.
• Communicate before the crossing, not afterwards.
• Do not ask one defender to take both runners.

Easier

Attackers may cross only on an agreed line.

Harder

Let the carrier choose a carry or bounce before the scoring pass.

What to observe

Count double marking and unguarded receptions; discuss the useful call.

Equipment

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