Aim of game is players in box A have to pass the ball to Box C, but they have to make minimum of 3 passes in their own box first, they must do this under the pressure of having 2 Defenders trying to stop them making the pass, who are released from thier gate as soon as ball is in the area. Once ball is passed to next box succesful, defenders have to get back into thier gate before other 2 defenders can leave and close other box down. Once a team loses possesion, they become defensive team. Coach to keep a supply of balls to make tempo of game fast. Can progress this game by making A and C area smaller, make minimum passes 5, and even allowin remaining 2 defensive players be able to stop the long pass in the middle box.
