A Competitive game between 3-4 teams.
Each team takes it in turns to run out to the box and tries to pass the ball 5 times around the box which is defended by one player.
After the 5 passes they can advance into the box and try to get past the second defender and score.
* Every 5 successfully completed passes count as a point.
* A Goal counts as another point.
You can choose on whether the lone defender inside the box is allowed to roam (as in the animation) or must stay inside a smaller box inside the larger grid.
Each team must keep their own score - see who the winner is at the end of the session!
* Space - Triangle method of passing
* Move to provide 2 supporting players
* Good angle to receive the ball
* Pass with the foot on the side of the receiving player.
* Timing is important for the receiver to be in position to receive.
* Timing is important for the passer to pass in the right moment.
* Support on both sides
