Skill: Sweep Pass
Set Up
10 balls (5 either side of a marker).
2nd marker 3m out from 1st marker. Receiver 5m out from 2nd marker. Player passes 1st ball, runs out to 2nd marker, back around the 1st marker & passes first ball, runs out to 2nd marker, back around the 1st marker & passes 1st ball from other pile (repeat). Balls placed 1m apart.

Key Factors:
- Proper approach from the far side.
- Bend knees, narrow base, sight target, sweep ball away, follow through after pass.
Progression:
- Move catcher further away.
- Use more balls.
- Time how long it takes & measure accuracy
Groups:
Minimum of 2 players.
Assessment:
Receiver holds a rucking pad, every pass which hits the target area is successful. (or a tackle bag leaning against a goal post)
