A simple passing warm-up in pairs before training, the first step in a three-step series from Artis Brno. Players pass across, follow their pass and take the receiver's place. The focus is on the first touch, where the ball is brought under control and set up for the next pass, and on the weight and accuracy of the pass so the partner does not have to adjust. Vary by allowing only two touches (receive, then pass). Quality comes before tempo. See the video. Source: Artis Brno (Instagram @burdovilya).

What the coach should look for

• Pass and follow your pass, take the receiver's place.
• First touch: receive under control and set the ball up for the next pass.
• Weight and accuracy of the pass, so your partner does not have to adjust.
• Quality before tempo.
