All players start in a circle as shown in the diagram. One player starts the ball and proceeds to pass the ball to the player next to them who intern passes it to the next in line until the ball reaches the starting player. To add enthusiasm players can be timed or race against another team. Progression can involve skipping a player (if there is an odd number of players).

Tacklers are aiming lower, so carriers who dip late put heads at risk. Teach footwork, a strong early body height and leg drive to win the collision safely.
