Passing game, growing team
Cue

Principle
Catching is a subject of its own: who catches well has time to choose.
Set-up
Half court, 1 ball
Rules
Two passers tag; only the player with the ball may tag; tagged players join the passers

| Layer 3Shape others | The passers make a plan to trap the last runner. |
How do you coach it?
Player-centred: variation, questions and room to find a solution.
Precise correction of form is not the criterion here.
