Analytical (20 min)

Set up:

- 10 x 20 grid (set up 2 grids)

- good supply of balls

Organization:

2 v 2 in the middle with 2 target players per team on the outside of grid. 

The object is for the 2 players in possession to find the target man with a pass. If they find the target mans feet they score a goal. The player who passes the ball switches with the target man and the pair now attacks the other side of the square. In this manner the target man is frequently changing with the flow of the game.
