Area split into 2, red team start in one half and the blue team start in the other half. Each team nominates one player to be the doctor for the game and they will stand in their teams red square. Every player from the doctors will have a ball. The aim of the game is to pass the ball and hit the players BELOW THE KNEE on the other team, in particular the doctor. Players can travel anywhere inside the area. The doctor is safe inside their red area. If a player is hit they have to go down and call for the doctor who is the only person that can free them. When the doctor is hit the game is over.

Individual Challenges: 1) Can you try and hit players whilst being in the same area as them (short passing) 2) Can you try and hit players whilst being in a different area to them (long passing) 3) Nominate someone to play without a ball and see if they can receive a pass from someone on their team and hit an opposition player.

Progressions: Secret medic, doctor surgery closed, if the player without a ball hits another player their doctor has to be out of their area for 30 seconds.
