Instructions

  1. 1P1 passes clockwise to P2 while P4 passes counter-clockwise to P5
  2. 2P1 moves toward center after passing to maintain the circle shape
  3. 3P2 continues clockwise to P3 as P5 continues counter-clockwise to P6
  4. 4P4 moves toward center while both balls keep circulating simultaneously
  5. 5P3 passes to P4 and P6 passes to P1, completing one full cycle each direction

Coaching Points

  • Track both balls simultaneously using peripheral vision — don't fixate on only one
  • If you hold both balls momentarily, release the incoming one instantly — no hesitation
  • Keep your passes clean and consistent so your teammates can maintain the second rhythm
  • Communicate which ball is approaching with a brief call when collision risk is high
  • Start slowly and only increase tempo once the pattern is fully automated

Common Mistakes

  • Fixating on one ball and losing track of the second ball's position
  • Holding both balls when they converge instead of instantly releasing one
  • Inconsistent pass weight, causing one circulation to speed up and the other to slow down
  • No verbal communication when balls are about to collide at the same player
  • Starting at full speed before the dual-ball pattern is established
