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.
This game can also be played with with just two players in the middle (making it easier) or 2 extra defending players, one in each end zone (making it harder) to add pressure to the pass.
