Players: All players stand at their flat marker in the circle, one starts with the ball.
Procedure
- The player with the ball runs towards the centre.
- This player calls the name of a free player and passes the ball to that player.
- The receiver takes the ball in their stride towards the centre.
- The receiver calls out the next receiver.
- The passer takes up the position that has become free in the circle.
- In the second round the passer names the target of the receiver.
Variations:
- The players make up names for themselves and call them out loud when passing. In the following rounds the made-up names of the team-mates are called.
Note: Drill idea by Eddie Plickat.
Tip
- The players should pay attention to passing options and to the positions of the team-mates.
- Ideally the player is addressed before the player on the ball passes.
- The players should stand on the toes and skip lightly.
- For firm passes, pull up the toes and place the standing leg in the target direction.
