Where to begin with absolute beginners? That's the question this session answers as we teach your players positions and their respective working areas!

Split your players into two teams and place 20 cones in the centre third (half upside-down and the other half the right way up).

Team A's challenge is to turn all the cones the correct way up and team B's challenge is to turn all the cones upside down.

Time limit 30 seconds.

Players jog, hop or skip around the outside of the court.

When the coach (player X) calls a position all players have to run to that area of the court.

• Split your players into two equal teams and put down an equal number of cones in each final third.
• The two teams compete against one another, trying to take cones/bibs from their opponents area and place them behind their line. 

In one third of the court any number of players work with one ball between them.

The aim of the game is for players to pass the ball to each other, whilst one player attempts to catch the player in possession of the ball.

Once the player in possession has been caught players swap roles, with the player who was caught becoming the next catcher.
