5. 5Feeder feeds each runner in sequence through all four corners

Coaching Points

• Eyes up to the feeder the entire sprint
• Catch at full stride if possible
• Pass back quickly — no dribbling

Common Mistakes

• Slowing down before reaching center court to receive the pass
• Taking extra dribbles after the catch instead of passing back immediately
• Running in curved paths instead of true diagonal lines corner to corner
• Feeder timing the pass too early or too late for the runner's stride
