Activity Sheet:
8 vs 8 (No Goal)


Activity Description: 
  • In a space half the size of the gym, two teams of 8 players attempt to continually pass the ball without allowing defensive team to intercept.
Rules: 
  • Must stay within the space; when a ball goes out of bounds, the defensive team gains possession.
  • Defenders may not tackle (guarding but no contact) an opponent.
  • After 5 consecutive passes, a point is awarded and the opponents gain possession of the ball.
Teaching Points:
  • Use entire space.
  • Move into space away from defenders to receive a pass.
  • Show target and signal for pass (communicate with teammates).
  • Short, quick passes will be most effective.
Organization Points:
  • Have two games being played concurrently in the gym, with equal-sized teams.
  • Distinguish between teams with pinnies.
