Set up an area 30x30 yards including “goals” on each side like the diagram shows. In this set up we show 14 players including two servers but you can use this with any number.
Play a 4v4 game with two target players for each team that stand behind the coned goals. You also need two servers. One of the servers starts the game by passing a ball into the area and the servers control the game if the ball goes out of play by passing another ball in. Teams pass the from one target player to the other, and the last player to touch the ball before it reaches the target player swaps places.
You are looking for creative play to get the teams out of difficult situations and good passing, receiving and support play. Communication is key to getting the ball between target players.
3.Teams score a point for getting the ball successfully from one target player to the other. The player making the last pass must switch with the target player
4. Progress to two touch and switching back to the first target player after two passes
