The following run through ball exercise combines the taking of the run through ball with a bit of condition, timing and cooperation. The exercise is performed with three teams. You place a pawn in front of the basket at about 6-7 metres, and at the same distance also a pawn behind the basket. Player 1 starts with the pawn in front of the basket, player 2 starts with the ball under the basket, and player 3 starts with the pawn behind the basket.
Player 1 starts by taking a walkthrough ball. At the same time, number 3 behind the basket also starts running to catch the ball. Number 1 receives the ball from number 2 and makes the pass. After passing the ball he runs to the back of the pawn. After passing the ball, number 2 walks to the front pawn, turns around and starts the exercise again. The ball is not allowed to fall on the ground, so no one can drop it and slow down the pace of the exercise.
It is important that the pace of the runners stays high, so players are not allowed to wait until the other runner is ready. To encourage players not to drop the ball on the ground, you can take this into account with the scoring. A goal counts as a point, but dropping the ball on the ground takes away one point.
