In a 10W x15L grid, place one player on the each end line and one player in the middle of the grid in a one yard zone. The two players on the end lines will try to connect as many passes as they can. They will score a point for very pass completed. The Interceptor must try to either intercept the pass or deflect the pass out of bounds. 3 Interceptions and the players rotate or 5 deflections and the players rotate. All players get to defend in the middle.
