The purpose of this drill is to get the ball up to the forward (and scoring a point) by keep players in their positions and moving the ball on quickly once they recieve it.
The blue players are in a 2-3-1 formation as per a 7v7 match.
The blues (coned areas are islands) aim to pass the ball between themselves without the oranges (crocodiles) getting it. The blues must stay on their island (position). However, they only have 5 seconds to release the ball or the orange (crocodile) can enter the island to get the ball. If the orange gets the ball they swap with the blue (and get a point).
