DRILL SET-UP:
Make a circle with players all sitting down – one person starts with ball.
DRILL EXPLANATION:
- First player runs, passes ball to another player and stays standing (Cannot be someone NEXT to themselves).
- Continue with this pattern until all players have had the ball, then ball goers to player who started it all.
- When pattern is set this will be repeated but all players are standing, and tempo is fast.
- On “GO” player goes to player who they REMEMBER got the ball. Drill keeps going.
