Description -two `levels` of two players, with each pair of players having one ball between them. The rest of the players begin with a slalom dribbling pattern. Upon exiting the pattern, players must get their head up and find the player without the ball and give it to him. He then receives another ball immediately from the other player. Repeat as such at the `second level`. Switch out players after a few minutes. -progress to the pair of players passing the ball to one another as the others dribble through slalom pattern. These players must then be aware of when they are due to exchange balls with the dribbler Coaching Points -get your head up and scan the environment -use your voice and eyes to communicate to your teammate you are looking to give them the ball
