-Setting Up:

  • Identify players into two teams.

  • Give one of the players a ball.

  • Players are in a scattered position in the playing area.

-Instructions:

  • Players with the ball can only pivot and have three seconds to pass the ball.

  • Players attempt to pass the ball to teammates as many consecutive times as possible--it is helpful for teams to count out loud the number of passes.

  • Defense cannot attempt to knock the ball away from the player holding the ball.

  • Any ball that hits the ground or is intercepted starts the other team with their first pass.

-Questions & Notes:

  • Questions for Understanding:

    • What can players on the offensive team do to increase their success?

    • How can offensive players without the ball create open spaces for them to receive the ball?

    • What can players on the defensive team do to increase their success?

  • Variation:

    • Intercept Continues the Count: If a ball is intercepted by the opposition the intercepting team continues counting where the other team left off.

    • Bounce Pass: All passes must bounce once between players. Two+ bounces and the ball goes to the other team.
