  • Setup

    Place a cone at each corner of a 30 metre square. Even number of players on each cone.
  • Step 1

    Start off going clockwise. (A) handballs to (B) who is leading towards (C), then runs behind (B) feigning a shepherd and instructing with voice
    (A) feigns a shepherd by getting near (B) and outstretching arms
    (A) skips (B) and goes to opposite cone (C)
  • Step 2

    (B) handballs to (C) who is leading towards (D), then runs behind (C), again feigning a shepherd and instructing with voice
    (B) then runs to the opposite cone (D), so players always run to their opposite cone.
  • Step 3

    This is repeated by all players around the square
  • Step 4

    Once there is rhythm with one ball going clockwise, introduce a second ball going anti-clockwise.
    Players must now be aware of balls coming from both directions.
  • Step 5

    Introduce as many balls as numbers allow.
