Chain Reaction

How to play

  • Divide the 20m x 20m grid in half
  • 3 groups of 5 work in each new 20m x 10m channel 
  • One ball per group of five
  • The groups take it in turns to practise lateral passing (i.e. in each channel, the three groups take it in turns).

  • Player 1 starts in a standing position with the ball.
  • Player 2 in on one knee.
  • Player 3 is on both knees.
  • Player 4 lies on his / her front.
  • Player 5 sits cross-legged.
  • On the call of the teacher or coach, all players start running forward as quickly as possible, and pass the ball along the line. The starting positions should mean that every pass is made to a player supporting from behind.When the drill in finished, repeat it, this time with the players passing to the left. Players should change position after each run through.
