Circle Passing

Generating team confidence and trust by passing with a brief moment of eye contact.

Have all team players stand in a circle, arms length apart for spacing. Start with one ball, this will be the ‘chest pass’ ball. In order for the player to pass the ball, they MUST have EYE CONTACT with the person they are passing to and IMMEDIATELY pass it. When ready, introduce a second ball, the \‘bounce pass\’ ball. Remember to step forward when passing and eye contact must be there for the person to pass the ball. A third ball maybe introduced if they are ready.

Tips

The more balls, the more fun!

Skills
