Working in 2 teams players must make passes across the square. When the ball reaches the other side it counts as a point. The teams work in opposite directions, one team horizontally (blue), one team vertically (green).

Players in the centre of the square can move anywhere within the square but must make sure they are aware of the players around them.

The 2 defenders (red) work inside the square and can only intercept passes from their allocated team.
Players along the sides need to moving all the time and reacting to the position of the player in the box

Defenders can intercept either ball (make sure they communicate!)
