Half of the participants line up in the centre of a square in two columns of one, facing each other and equipped with a ball (passers). The remaining participants spread out evenly in the corners of the running circle (runners). At a signal from the sports director, the first runner starts to the next corner, where he sends the second runner onto the track with a handshake. He in turn joins the waiting group at the back. The runners run until each participant is back at the starting point, thereby setting the time available for the passers in the centre of the square. From the start command, the foremost passer in the column passes the ball to the player on the opposite side. After the pass, he runs to the other side and stands behind the waiting group. Each complete pass by foot or hand (the sports director may define rules such as Ground pass or receiving the ball between two specific lines) scores one point. Which team scores more points during their pass?
Variant I:
Define different ways of transporting the ball for the group in the centre (instead of passes):
- Ball (e.g. medicine ball or gym ball) medicine ball or gymnastics ball) in a high hold
- Transport the ball on your thighs in a four-footed gait
- Tuck the ball between your feet and bounce
Variant II:
The runners carry/lead a ball and pass it to the next runner in the corner:
- Bounce the ball
- Dribble the ball with their feet
- Roll the ball with their hands
