Concertina	6 clean passes at 2m, 4m, 6m, 8m, 10m, 12m, 14m, 12m, 10m, 8m, 6m, 4m, 2m
Triangles	Set a triangle shape – athletes to pass around the triangle; include a second ‘intercept’ triangle. On interception, swap over.
Passball	Two teams of X in a line. One athlete starts out the front of each team (4m). Player passes along the line to the last player, who comes to the front while the first player goes to the beginning of the line. Repeat until all players have been at the front. Race!
Starfish	5 players in a tight group; one swims out; the ball is passed over head; player swims onto the ball, turns, passes out in front of next player, then returns to the group. Continue for 5min. Make difficult by adding pressure to the passer slowly at first, then heavy pressure.
Trios	In a straight line – two players at one, one at the other end, say 10-15m apart. - First player starts walking and passing to the other end; once there, change is made – do 5-10min - First player swims half way and the gives an off the water pass, change is made - First player holds the ball up high and walks to the second, change is made
Circle Drill	Partner in the middle. Partner swims around every 3 stroke they pop catch the ball and pass back to their partner wet. Then swim again around 3 strokes then repeat pass. Switch every 1-minute or so Make sure passes are on the way up not on the way down…. The arm is extended elbow locked passing only using the wrist so if your elbow is hit you still get the pass off.
