-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.
