After the catch, ten yards of running while a partner runs alongside and tries to strip the ball. The five pressure points: fingers over the tip, forearm underneath, ball against the ribs, biceps over the top, back tip in the crook of the elbow.

Key points

  • The ball switches to the arm away from your partner.
  • Keep your elbow tight: that’s where the ball comes out.
  • Three sets of six.

Common mistakes

  • Carrying the ball in one hand like a suitcase.
  • A teammate who taps your arm instead of going for the ball.
