Interceptors

The Rules

Playing 3v3 in the main area, the attacking team receives a ball from a server and tries to turn and pass to the opposite side.

Defenders can win the ball back in the main area or step into the end zone if they are able to anticipate the timing and direction of a pass.

Each successful interception gains a point. Upon intercepting the ball the defender turns and passes to the opposite side and the roles reverse.

Switch the servers and middle players after, say, 10 points (total).

Main Objectives

Improve marking distances and anticipation of an opponent’s pass in order to intercept and counter attack.
