Depending on how many players there are, the group needs to be split into 2 teams. 2 people from each team need to stand in the opposite box, as shown in the diagram. It is like a mini football match, when one team has possession of the football, the other team need to try and get it off them (defend). The aim of the game is to pass the ball to the person in the box and then you need to swap with the person in the box. You get a point for every time you pass the ball into the box.
The players will be passing and dribbling so they can use simple dribbling and passing skills. they can use the outside of the foot or inside of the foot to dribble with. To pass, they can use long or short passes.
