Circle Passing - Warm-Up Flow

Instructions

1. 1P1 passes clockwise to P2 and moves toward center after releasing
2. 2P2 receives with high hands and passes to P3, then rotates inward
3. 3Sequence flows continuously: P3 to P4, P4 to P5, each moving after passing
4. 4P5 passes to P6, who completes the circle by passing back to P1
5. 5Each passer shuffles to center then back to maintain circle spacing

Coaching Points

• Pass to where the receiver is moving, not where they are standing
• Stay active on your feet after passing — flat-footed players slow the whole circle
• Receive with two hands and make immediate eye contact with the next target
• Keep the circle shape; crowding inward collapses the spacing and passing angles
• Reverse direction every 3-4 cycles to develop both hands equally

Common Mistakes

• Passing to where the receiver is standing instead of leading them into space
• Standing flat-footed after passing, slowing down the circle rotation
• Drifting inward and collapsing the circle shape, reducing passing distance
• One-handed catching, causing fumbles and dropped balls
• Only passing in one direction, neglecting the weaker hand development
