Set up

Groups of four to six in a circle, eight metres wide, one ball.

How it works

Pass around the circle. One player in the middle tries to touch the ball.

  • Lose the ball and go in the middle.
  • Keep the ball on the ground.

Say this

"Head up""Move after your pass"

Too easy?

Two touches only.

Too hard?

Make the circle bigger.

Organising it

8 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: 2 groups of 3v3, 2 rotate in every minute. With 20 kids: 3 groups of 3v3, 2 rotate in every minute. Runs with one coach.
