INITIAL PHASE
Half of the children have a ball and the other half do not. All children are moving around the court. The children without the balls run around and move their hands. As soon as the coach says “GO”, then the children pair up and become trains, where he/she with the ball is in front and the one without ball is behind and the train will now move around the court.
At any time, the child in the back can signal to his teammate and then he/she turns around and they pass to each other. They switch roles if the child behind starts dribbling the ball. At the signal “FREE” then everybody can move around freely again.
Variations:
- Alternate signals “GO” and “FREE”
- Encourage passing the ball to each other in different ways
