Players stand around the circle. One player with a ball in their hands runs it to a teammate. The new ball carrier must now run the ball to another player. Like Hot Potato you want to move the ball as fast as possible. Slowly add more balls to increase intensity.
Encourage players to think ahead to who they will pass off to next. If two players meet at a teammate, only one can pass off. The other must move on and find a new teammate. Switch movement type: Hope on one foot, crab walk
