Set Up:

1) 25x25 yard square with an 8x8 yard square in the center

2) Groups of three with a ball

3) A defender in the center of 8x8 grid

How to Play:

Split players into three teams of three (label each player A, B or C), plus a defender in the middle grid. Two players from each group are outside the big grid with one inside. Start with the A players in each group passing to player B at the same time from outside the big grid. The B players must dribble through the center grid that is guarded by one defender and then pass to player C. B exits the square and A goes in to receive a pass from C. A runs through the center grid and passes to player B. C enters the big grid and A goes out. Keep this going and award a point for each successful attempt through the middle grid. Defenders try and win the ball and dribble out of the grid.
