  • 24 players or less: have one group and gradually introduce multiple balls. 24+ split into 2 groups and create 2 playing areas..
  • Groups (A), (C) and (E), kick, get a return handball, kick again.
    Kickers join to the FIRST station they gave to (the next letter in sequence), so these players MUST REMEMBER to go back a group, or you'll get uneven numbers
    (A joins B), (C joins D), (E joins F).
  • (B), (D) and (F) simply mark and handball back to the kicker.
    Handballers, like kickers, progress to the next station.
    (B joins C), (D joins E), (F joins A).
  • This means everyone has a turn at [kick-receive-kick], then [mark-handball] next time.
  • Progression: Introduce a second/third ball if numbers permit. Throw-in a reversal of direction.
