Rip and pass back

How it works

  1. The ball carrier stands still. A teammate binds on and takes the ball with both hands, then turns and passes it back hand-to-hand.
  2. The last player takes it and runs off. Rotate so everyone has each job.
  3. No opposition, all on your feet.

Coaching points

  • Two hands on the ball, take it, don't snatch it.
  • Keep low and stay bound while you pass it back.
  • Last player: call when you're ready.

Ready for the next level when: Groups move the ball to the back quickly and on their feet.
