3. 3Pivot resets to starting position facing away from feeder
4. 4Target returns ball to Feeder and the sequence restarts
5. 5Pivot turns to the lower Target on the next rep to alternate sides

Coaching Points

• Pivot foot must stay grounded during the turn
• Decision on which target before catching
• Quick hands — no holding the ball

Common Mistakes

• Lifting the pivot foot during the turn, committing a travelling violation
• Turning before securing the catch, leading to fumbles
• Always turning to the same side instead of reading where the target is
• Holding the ball too long after the pivot instead of releasing immediately
• Targets standing still instead of offering movement to receive
