This practice involves three drills designed to improve each player’s Wedge Control technique while turning with the ball.

Exercise 1:
Two players are positioned in a grid 10 yards x 10 yards. The first player starts the practice by throwing a looped serve into the center of the grid. The player follows the pass, controls and turns as quickly as possible and returns to their starting position. His partner then repeats the practice. The speed of the practice should be increased gradually.

Exercise 2:
Four players are inside the square using one ball. The practice starts with the first player serving the ball with two hands to another player. The receiving player must control the ball using his head, chest, things or feet and volley for another player to catch. This sequence is repeated during the exercise. Exercise 3

Two players are positioned in a grid 10 yards x 10 yards. The players alternate receiving the ball from their partner. The receiving player must prevent the ball from hitting the ground by controlling the ball using the thigh, chest, head or feet. After successfully controlling the ball the player must pass the ball back to their partner to control. The player receives a point for each successful control and pass back to the server.
