5 Pass Complete

Description

Assemble a grid and divide participants into two teams.

The attacking team in possession of the ball must attempt to complete five successful passes without the ball being dropped or intercepted by the defending team.

Participants may move around the grid and pass the ball in any direction.

If a ball is dropped, or intercepted, a change over occurs.

Equipment
  • 9 x cones
  • 1 x ball
  • 1 x set of bibs

Coaching Outcome

Participants learn to move and pass the ball into space and avoid other players by using their vision and communication skills in this fun and competitive catch and pass game.

Change It
  • Participants cannot pass the ball back to the player that they received it from.
  • Assign 'double points' to certain participants when they catch the ball.
  • Increase the number of pass completions to ten.

Check for Understanding
  • What should we do when a teammate has the ball?
  • What can we do as a team when the opposition has the ball?
  • What different skills can help us to be successful in this activity?
