Set Up:
There are 16 players set up inside of a small field split into four zones. The two teams occupy alternating zones of the field and pass the ball in sequence, from Player 1 to 2 to 3, and so on until the ball reaches Player 8. Player 8 then finishes the ball in the small goal set up outside the field. Missed shots have to be chased down and scored. After each goal, Player 1 starts the next ball. The first team to finish eight balls scores one point, and five points wins the game.
Coaching Points:
1. Players should make eye contact and talk on every pass.
2. When receiving, players should not hide in traffic (aka ‘hiding in dead space’).
3. The passer should look up and check the target just before striking the pass.
Progressions:
1. Any player can shoot.
2. Players can block the other team’s passes.
