  • Setup

    Even numbers behind 4 stations. Start with quite a tight 5m square.
  • Step 1

    Start with one ball with everyone passing to the next player in sequence, e.g. (A to B), (B to C), etc.
    The pass must be received half-way between the two stations. This involves throwing slightly ahead of the player, so they can catch without breaking stride.
    Players move to station they passed to.
  • Step 2

    After players settle into a rhythm:-
    Reverse the flow of play (without stopping, simply call 'Reverse!')
    Pause briefly and introduce a second ball - this requires some synchronicity so balls don't get clumped
  • Step 3

    Stop after a couple of minutes, increase the square size to 8m and restart with both balls.
