Organization

Place a receiver centrally with one coloured gate to each side and passers 10–12m away. Before every service the coach or a partner changes which gate is active. The receiver must scan both shoulders, receive across the body and play through the live gate.

Coaching Points

Progressions

  • Add a trailing defender who can pressure after the receiver's first touch.
