Walk, reset and reflect

Setup & sequence

Pairs walk in clear parallel lanes, then gather outside the court.

1. Walk easily and let the pace settle; move shoulders comfortably.
2. In pairs, describe one observed action and its result.
3. Record one team observation and one practical next step.

Before you start

The active drill has stopped and balls are secured.

2–4 players per station. With four, the player without a ball observes one cue or rehearses footwork in clear space; rotate every five attempts. For 12 players: three groups of four, provided lanes remain separated.

Starting dose

3 minutes of easy movement and 2 minutes of discussion.

Observe & correct

Cue: Describe what happened before explaining why.

Error → correction: Vague judgement such as “bad passing”: replace it with an observed count or event.

Observable outcome: One factual observation and one next action are recorded.

Adapt to the group

Easier: Offer a question: which ball became easier to play?

Harder: Compare start/end counts collected with the same task.

Alternative setup: Use a spoken group review if no writing device is available.
