DESCRIPTION

Players work in groups of 4, with 1 ball between them.

The first player runs towards the centre
The player with the ball throw up a high ball for the receiving player to jump and receive.
The receiving player catches the ball, and turns in the air, so they land facing the opposite direction to the player who passed to them (turning 180 degrees).
The receiving player then passes the ball, and follows their pass.

Passing

Additional defence:

The first team starts with the ball inside the attacking third, with all the other players except one stood outside the area.

The aim for the team in the area with the ball is to complete as many sets of 5 passes as possible. Every time they complete 5 passes another defender from outside the area is allowed in to try and intercept the ball.

Once all of the defending players have entered the playing area, or after an interception has been made, the teams change over and try to beat the first teams score.
