Screen 1

Play begins with red defender starting on a mannequin, and when the thrower says "go", the defender will check off of the defender backward, scan their shoulder when they drop back, and then the thrower will throw the ball over the mannequin, and then the red defender will jump and try to head the ball back over the mannequin back to the thrower.

Coaching Points

-Make sure to scan a different shoulder each time when dropping

-Focus on jumping when the ball is at its highest point in the air to help you get the most power from the header

-When going up for the header, make sure to say "i got ball" or "Your name, ball" to practice letting your teammates know.
