Crossfire - Players are split into 4 teams and will play over 2 squares (2 per square). Teams stand at the ends of the squares facing each other with all players having a ball. In the middle of the square there is 5 different coloured balls which are target balls. The aim of the game is for players to use their balls to hit the target ball and knock it across the opposing teams side by passing. Players may only use footballs that are on their side, as balls that stay in the middle are dead. They also can't touch the target balls directly. Encourage to use correct technique to produce more accuracy to gain greater success.
