Play 2 v 2 in each area. One ball per practice.
The object of the game is to pass the ball to a player on the same team in the opposing area. A goal is scored when a.) the receiver plays a one touch pass back to a teammate in the originating area or b.) the receiver turns with the ball and plays it to a teammate in his area.
Score 2 goals when the team advances the ball to the opposing endline and stops the ball on the line.
The receivers must check away from the ball and back towards the ball.
The team in possession should combine to create a better passing opportunity across the grid.
