2. “Small Ball Passing” Group 1 sets up in a 10-15 yard box with one player in the middle. Once Group 1 completes 5 passes (or each player touches the ball), Group 2 adds a defender. Group 2 continues to add a defender after each set of completed passes. If there is a dropped ball or turnover, Group 2 sets up the box formation and Group 1 becomes the defense. Each time there is a change of possession, the passing starts from the beginning with no defense. Game continues until a group wins by playing against all defenders and completing all passes. Allow movement to make game-like (see “Emphasize”-3 rd slide) Equipment Needed: extra balls and cones to designate box
