Monkey in the middle gets the ball

Three players in line spread out, the ends have a ball each, middle guy faces one end person.

Instructions

The end person passes to the middle man and runs to where the middle man was. When the middle man gets the ball he dribbles to where the end guy was. As soon as the end guy gets to the middle the other end guy passes the ball to him. Continue this pattern.

Variations

Make it competitive. See witch group of three can make the most revolutions in a certain amount of time.

Tips

Try not to have the guy running to the middle stall to long in the middle.

Skills

Passing, dribbling, running.

Players

Three per group.
