Diagram 1. Set-Up Arrangement

Set-Up

• Set-up a 30x30yrd grid, with a 10x10yrd square in the centre of the playing area. 2 teams with 6 players in each team in different coloured pinnies.

Instructions

• Two teams compete in the playing area and attempt to score by playing a pass on the ground through any 2 sides of the centre square.
• 6vs6, however, the team in possession has 6 players in the outer square to maintain possession of the football. The defending team drop 2 players into the centre square where they can attempt to block/intercept through footballs and attempts to pass through the centre square. Making it 6vs4 + (2 blockers).
• If the attacking team looses possession of the football the attackers become the defenders.
• When transitioning to defense the new defending team drops 2 players into the centre square.
• No attacking players are allowed in the centre square.
• If the football is intercepted by a defender in the centre square they simply dribble out of the centre area and pass to teammate in the larger square and the teams change roles (i.e. attacking and defending).
• A violation of any of these rules by a player results in their team becoming the defenders.
• Example from the Diagram above: A1 passes to A2 to maintain possession. A2 looks up and sees two possible passing options to score a point. In option 2, straight through the back of the square to A3. A2 can also score by passing the football diagonally through the side of the square to A4.

Scoring

• The attacking team plays passes through (across) any 2 sides of the centre square to earn a point.
