Passing and Tag Game (15 mins)

Pass & Tag


SET UP  

20x20 box

8-10 players

3 balls


Instructions

Players begin passing to one another utilizing the mandatory "two
touches"
to keep the ball moving and guiding it to where they want to
pass next. 

On the coach's signal, the 3 players who have a ball, pick it up
and try to catch a teammate. (When a player is caught, they change roles and continue until the coach's second signal). 

At that point, balls go back to the ground and the players continue passing "two
touches"

Coaching Points

Players communicate by shouting for the pass 

Players tell their teammates where they want the pass

3 touch if 2 touch is too demanding

Encourage 1st touch - "touch direction" for their 2nd touch
