Take-a-break Keep-away

Heading 1

The team with the ball tries to make 10 consecutive passes to score 1 point.

Define a playing area–something like a badminton court or half a volleyball court.
Both teams are on the court, one of the teams is given a ball

By throwing the ball--handing the ball to a teammate is not permitted--to a teammate players attempt to pass the ball to their teammates.
Every 10 consecutive passes counts for 1 point.
Teams try to score 5 points to win a game.
The defending team tries to intercept the passes.
If the defending team intercepts a pass, or a pass goes out-of-bounds, the defending team gets the ball and attempts to make 10 consecutive passes.
The player who made the last bad pass takes a break by sitting on the floor until their team gets the ball again–this gives a slight advantage to the offensive team.

Safety considerations:
- Players should keep heads up to avoid crashing into each other.
- No body contact is permitted.
Instructional tips:
- Players need to find open spaces so their teammates can pass them the ball.
Variations:
- Specific-pass Take-a-break Keep-away: The same as Take-a-break Keep-away but players may only use a specific type of pass, for example: bounce pass or chest pass.
- Multi-sport Take-a-break Keep-away: The same as Take-a-break Keep-away but using different sport passes and balls.
As a cool-down:
- Works well as a cool-down as long as the playing area is not too large.
