6v6 + 2 neutral full backs.
Two centre backs on each team, with a 4v4 in the area. Centre backs have to stay outside the area to start with.
They feed the ball in and their team has to play through the area and out to the other centre backs.
If possession is won by the other team, they have to start with their centre backs.
Neutral full backs have to stay wide of the area and join whichever team has the ball.
If a forward pass isn't available, use the centre backs and start again.
Players off the ball have to constantly move and drag defenders out of position to create passing lanes.
Full backs stay wide and drop when needed, or move higher when needed.
