1. Players passing the ball between each others (1/2/3 touches) when they are taking 2 touches it will be Inside control/Inside pass and Outside control/Inside pass. 3 touches will be like same as 2 touches but extra touch.

2. This time, you are allowed to tackle soon as they come over the green cones. but if they don't come over the green cones, just press the ball. Reds have to try to stop the ball on the 2 red cone lines. If blues win the ball, they have to pass the ball to full back, and full back passes the ball into blue cones.
