Station four players in each grid, with one ball per practice.
The white team start with possession of the ball.
Player 1 on the white team passes the ball into the opposing area. The white team can then send two players into the opposing area to defend.
A goal is scored when the blue team makes 5 consecutive passes without an interception.
Repeat in the opposite direction.

Players off the ball should be accessible to the ball carrier at all times.
When a defender wins the ball, he should turn and look to pass it to his team immediately.
Various was of progressing this game can include increasing the number of defenders to three, make the area smaller, or increasing the game to 6 v 6.
