4 squares inside the grid, 2 reds and 2 blues. 5 players in each team or equal numbers. If an odd number have a neutral player that will only play offense (choose an attacking minded player)

Instructions:

The team in red will demonstrate the activity. Number 1 will pass to the player inside the box, as number 2 receives the ball s/he will immediately look up to connect a pass to another player on the field. The initial player will take the spot of the standing player in the box.

Another way to get the player out of the box could be doing a wall pass. So Number 1 passes the ball to number 2, number passes right back to number 1 and number lays off or wall passes to number 2 and look to play up the field. Again number 1 will take the spot of number 2
