Pass and move: 3 players occupy 3 corners of a square leaving

the 4th corner empty. Player A passes the ball to Player B and
then moves to the open spot. Player B passes to Player C and
then moves to the spot left open by Player A. Player C passes
to Player A and then moves to the spot left open by Player B.
The players thus move around the square in a clockwise
fashion. Have the player make good eye contact and call the
name of the person to whom the ball is being passed.

Some students might benefit from have a person in each corner
and no one move practice eye contact.

Have players form 2 lines 20 feet apart making the base of a
triangle. Line A player has the ball. Line B player runs to the top

catches the ball and passes it back to the next person in Line A
and the 2 players switch lines.
