Teaching Tips

Make sure the players are making accurate passes and not just flinging the ball everywhere.

This drill is best done with 4 players, because the players get confused with what person to throw the ball to when there is more than 4 players.

You want to do this drill as quickly as possible. It really improves hand-eye coordination and the amount of time it takes a player to a make a pass. Players really want to focus on doing quick SNAP-passes.
