The aim for players is to pass the ball amongst your team.
Teams score by successfully completing 5 consecutive passes without dropping / having the ball intercepted.
Attacks must make positive moves into the space and feed well ahead of the moving player.
Defence - put pressure on the attack both with and without the ball
Rules:
Ball goes to other team when:
A point is scored, the ball goes out of the area or the ball is intercepted.
Teams now score by passing to a player inside the shooting circle. However, players must complete 5 passes before being allowed to pass to a player inside the shooting circle.
If the ball is caught inside the shooting circle after 5 passes a point is scored.
