Each team has two coned areas
The aim is for the attacking team to send 1 player to infiltrate the opposition space (boxes) and look for a pass
The defending team must also send 1 player to defend the on coming attack
The game should be played as a normal match and normal rules apply.
Encourage the team to communicate effectively
Award the opposition a free kick if the team in possesion crowd too many players round one area (on the ball)
Look for the leaders in the team who send communications to others
Make sure there are no static players in the boxes - Encourage them to time their run intelligently
