Overhead-and-Side Ball Pass

Japanese name: ボール送り

Materials

Stand in a queue, spaced so handovers do not require stretching. The front player holds the ball.
On the signal, pass it overhead to the person behind and continue to the back. Do not throw; release only when the receiver has it.
At the back, return it forward beside the body. If overhead passing is difficult, use side passes both ways.
On a drop, everyone stops and retrieves it from that spot. Never run backward to collect it.
Returning to the front is success. Swap front and back players and finish after three complete trips out and back.

Preschool children: side passes. Older primary school children: alternate overhead and side passing.
