First Touch and Passing (10 mins)

1. Both players in the middle must touch the ball at least once before passing to the outside bouncer. 

2. Outside players must move to a different space on the outside once they have made a pass. This ensures that players must keep checking their shoulder to see where their teammates are positioned
