Initial layout and description of the Four Corners Game
A player with ball in each corner. The get is placed right in the center of the 4 corners.
There are two ways of playing the 4 corners:
- In the classic game, play free, no signal and no signal change. Each player in corner choose when to be changed by another partner on the other corner.
- How in the beginning are usually cut, we recommend that the principle is the coach the person of the signal. If any of the players that were in a corner is not changed, it will be automatically whom the French ligue.
After a few rounds, it is recommended to play the original form because it is more fun. They work harder and better movements with the ball, as well as changes of pace and direction. In addition, it also enters the component of socialization of the game because we experience values like cooperation and trust among teammates.
Note: In the case of not being 5, change the geometric shape:
- with 4 people we will be forming an equilateral triangle,
- with 6 people we will make a pentagon,
- with 7 people we will be forming a hexagon,
- with 8 people we will make a septangle).
Even from more than 7-8 people can put two people link it in the center.
Variants
- Dribble with the hand non-dominant.
- You can add a second ball to every player in the corner (in this way, each player has two balls).
- You can put the league also with the ball.
- Vary the number of times that occupies a corner (it may be that a signal has to be passed by two corners).
- In the case of many, it also can be put together two squares to form a rectangle and two squares share a side.
- You can also vary geometric figures and the number of people the link.
