Your focus
Trusting teammates enough to throw based on verbal confirmation builds the deep team bond that elite units possess. This drill also develops peripheral vision and spatial awareness on the field.
Five players stand in a circle, 8 yards apart.
Ball carrier must call a teammate's name and pass immediately, without looking at them, as long as the teammate calls 'ready' loudly.
If the pass arrives accurately, that counts as a point. Complete 20 passes.
Debrief: which passes worked and why?
Helpful cues
