Ball is fed into midfield, only one person allowed per grid, defending team pressure but don’t tackle, attacking team need to keep passing until a pass forward is available. Pass to attacker who tries to score. Reset, pass ball into other midfield and repeat.
Progression: can shoot instead of stopping the ball to score. Change overload depending on number.
Quick passing to open up opportunities, striker(s) must move into space to encourage the pass.
