4 players per box, each box approx. 5 metres square
Nominate 1 defender. The defender is "passive" and can only intercept passes not tackle
3 attackers have a ball. Once a pass is made the player not passing or receiving runs to a "square" position. See diagram - if pass 1 is made then move 1 is made.
If proving difficult make a 5 player static game to get used to passing round the square
