Use a Wall Safely and Purposefully
Turn a simple space into a focused passing activity.
When to use it
Use when you have permission to practice but no full court or partner.
Put It into Practice
- Ask an adult about a suitable space, surfaces and nearby people. Check that the activity will not damage property or send a ball into traffic.
- Choose a visible target and an appropriate distance. Practice a controlled pass and receiving position rather than chasing speed or counting every attempt.
- Change one variable with guidance: target height, distance or receiving position. Stop if the space becomes unsafe and bring questions about technique to your coach.
What It Can Look Like
A player uses a permitted gym wall and focuses on receiving the returning ball with balance.
