- Divide students into groups of six (modifications can be made depending on numbers)
- The lines should be about 10 feet apart facing each other
- Groups should be spread out around the gym
- One ball per group
- Students are to rally back and forth between lines using forearm passes
- Once a pass is made that student runs to the back of the opposite line
- Each group counts the number of consecutive passes for each rally and keeps track of their best one - these results will be compared to the other groups
- For a successful pass to be counted it must be a forearm
pass
