10–15 MINUTESADULT-SUPERVISEDFREE COURSE

Today’s lesson.

Combine a safe receive, block and decision.

Why it matters

Simple connections matter more than flashy speed.

What you need

Set three supervised stations: soft receive, foam block, short throw decision.

How to do the drill

Do two safe attempts per station, stop for feedback, finish with a game situation call.

ONE CUE TO REMEMBER“Protect, receive, lead.”

Today's skill-game challenge

Finish all stations while following safety steps.

One common mistake

Skipping safety for faster times.

Coach it positively: notice effort, a good decision and controlled movement—not just the final result.
