Set-up: Split Groups into three 'teams' Each team has a ball.

Each team keeps possession of one ball by passing and moving around the area.

Progressions:

2. Set specific challenges against different colours - e.g. green must play a penetrative pass through two blues, but play a give n go around any black if they can. If they cannot complete these tasks, they must pass and keep the ball as normal.

Challenges/Questions: Can passes be played into space for a team mate to run onto (not just passes to feet)

Scoring: How many times within 90 seconds can your team play a penetrative pass or give n go?
