BEGINNER 

• Use the rag lines, or create an imaginary perimeter with pylons, having all other players stand around the outside, with 3 balls in play.  Ask for 3 volunteers; the three volunteers start inside of the designated perimeter.

• *Variation #1 (7 min):  "No Lobs."  There are two rules:  players’ feet must remain on the outside of the perimeter, and they have 5 seconds max to move the ball once they get it, otherwise they also become “monkeys.”  Lob passes are not permitted in this variation.

• Players on the outside pass the ball back and forth and must pass to players on opposite the side of the perimeter; they are also allowed to move along their side.  If any of the “monkeys” pick off a pass or obtains a ball in any way, the last person to touch the ball is now in the middle too. This goes until there is one person left…the winner!

• Lob passes are permitted and encouraged in this variation.

*Most common error = Outside players “telegraphing” or not "disguising" their passes
