    Union Jack | Passing

    Union Jack:

    6 Players with 2 balls. The Coach decides whether to start the practice going clockwise or anti-clockwise. If you are one of the two middle people (players 1 & 2) then you change with each other once you have passed a ball. If you are on one of the corners then once you have passed your ball you exchange places with the person on your diagonal, e.g. Player 4 exchanges with player 5.
