Long passing Comp.

Split in to 3 team and depending upon age will depend upon the length of the pass.

If you manage a

long high ball = 1 point

Long ball below head hight = 2 points

Interception = 1 point

Each side has 10 long passes, They must keep score themselves.

Once they have completed the 10 passes they all move.

By the end of the game all 3 teams will have completed 20 long passes.
