In a 6x12 yards area with a line approx. 12 inches from the ground across the middle of the area, two teams of 2 players compete. The rules are: 1) The ball must pass below the line; 2) The ball must be played to a player on the opposite team; 3) The ball must never come to a complete stop.
Teams lose points if 1) The ball stops, 2) The ball crosses over the line; 3) The pass isn't directly to an opposing player.
* Pass must be strong and on the ground.
* Receiving player must perform a positive movement of the ball enabling the teammate to pass quickly.
* Players should avoid giving bouncing passes.
