Boundary Pass
Description
Assemble a grid and group participants in pairs, with one participant standing inside the grid, and the other on the outside.
On the Coach's signal, participants move within and around the grid in a clockwise direction, passing the ball backwards to their partner.
Equipment
- 8 x cones
- 1 x ball per pair
Coaching Outcome
Participants learn to form a ‘W’ with their hands when catching the ball and to run forward and pass backwards in this fun catch and pass game.
Change It
- Alter the size of the grid so that participants have further to move and a greater distance to pass.
- On the signal, "swap", participants change direction (clockwise to anti-clockwise).
- Set a time limit and see how many times pairs can complete a lap of the grid without dropping the ball.
Check for Understanding
- Where do our hands need to finish when we pass the ball?
- What shape do our hands need to make when catching the ball?
