Double Parked

Purpose of the Drill:

This drill helps players improve their ball-handling skills, reflexes, awareness, and peripheral vision.

How it Works:

• Players stand in a circle formation, a comfortable passing distance apart (5-7 players is an ideal number).
• Two balls start in the circle.
• The aim of the game is to eliminate players by making a player receive two passes at the same time.
• All players start with three points and are eliminated when they lose all of their points.
• Players can not hold onto a ball for an extended period of time.
• When there are only two players remaining players play off in a Grand Final.

There are two ways to lose points:

1. Players lose one point for dropping a ball.
2. If a receiving player catches both balls that are passed to them, the player who passed the second ball looses one point.

Grand Final Rules:

1. Only one ball is used.
2. The receiving player must clap their hands together whilst the ball is in the air before catching the ball.
3. If the receiving player claps before the ball is in the air they lose one point.
4. The passing player may fake passes (maximum three consecutive fakes) before passing.
5. The last remaining player is declared the winner.

Coaching Tips:

• Players can increase difficultly by using loud voices to create confusion.
