RUN AND TOUCH

Create two lines 15m apart (width of basketball court).

Work in pairs - one person standing on sideline, one lying face down 2m in front.

Each person standing has a basketball or similar.

The ball is rolled to the partner who receives the ball, stands up and dribbles across the width of the court, and then throws the ball back to their partner.

Return to starting positions, repeat 5 times and change over.
