Play 2v2 on a long narrow field of 25Y x 12Y. Players on each side of the field, split up in two small groups.
The game starts with a long, accurate pass from the defenders to the attackers.
Two attackers try to beat two defenders and quickly pass the ball to the next two waiting defenders. They now pass the ball to two new attackers. Previous defenders and attackers step of the field.
When the defenders win the ball, they accurately pass the ball to the waiting next attackers. Those attackers pass the ball to the other side and now become the defending team.
When the ball goes over the sideline, the players can dribble or pass the ball back onto the field.
Game: Keep track of how many times the attackers are successful.
