Flat-line walk

How it works

  1. Pairs walk side by side towards a line of cones, about 3 steps apart.
  2. The ball carrier passes across to their partner. The partner must stay level or slightly behind the ball.
  3. Pass back and forth all the way to the cones. Then jog.

Coaching points

  • Pass across your body or back, never in front.
  • Receiver: stay level or behind the ball carrier, not ahead.
  • Arms swing across, fingers point at the target after the pass.

Ready for the next level when: Pairs reach the cones at a jog with every pass going across or back.
