Set out a zone by splitting pitch into 3 equal areas.
Two players with the ball try to pass the ball through the centre zone to their partner players on the other side.
The 3 players in the middle zone can try and intercept the ball when they do so they can try to score a goal against the two player that they won the ball from - creating a 3 vs 2.
