Ladder to Finish
Quick feet through an agility ladder and over two mini hurdles, a catch from the coach on the move, then one hard dribble past a stand-up dummy for the finish. The line keeps rolling: the finisher rebounds, passes back to the coach and the next player goes.

Coaching points
- Ladder: one foot in each box, light on the balls of the feet, arms pumping.
- Hurdles: quick off the floor and soft on landing; no stutter between them.
- Come out of the footwork low, show a target and catch on the move.
- Go past the dummy shoulder to hip, protect the ball with your body, finish high off the glass.
