Split the group in two. Half stay inside the grid, while the other half take a ball each and spread themselves out around the outside of the grid. |

The players inside the grid move to one of the player’s on the outside. The ball is then fed into them and they then return it to the feeder in the manner the coach desires (see end of session plan). Then they run and sprint to receive another pass. Players on the inside can not go around in a circle but must go across the grid each time. After the allocated time has elapsed the players on the inside swap with the players on the outside.
When serving the ball to the inside players the return can be:
One touch volley (laces or inside)
Thigh then volley
Chest then volley
Header Although any other variations can be employed.
As there are a number of players moving around the inside of the grid they should communicate early with the players on the outside who to pass to.
