Divide the players into four equal groups and set up each group on one of the corners of the playing area. Give one of the players a ball to start the game. The players must pass the ball counter clockwise around the playing area, from one corner to the next. Once a player has passed the ball, they follow it to join the back of the group they have thrown to.
What to call out!! âHold the ball in two hands.â âKeep your head up to see whatâs going on.â âSwing the ball across your body.â âMake it easy to catch your pass.â âReceiver: hold your hands up as a target.â Have the players also pass the ball clockwise round the square, so they practise passing to the left and right.
