Passing thro’ the #10/screens

Objective is for each team to score by passing through their midfielders (they are agnostic)

1. 2 teams of 4 – 2 in each zone
2. 1 midfielder who is a central zone to start
3. The ball starts with the GK to the defenders
4. The defenders are looking to connect with the midfielder
5. As soon as the midfielder gets the ball they attack the goal creating a 3v2 – IF there is a shot then the coach plays in second ball
6. If the defenders win the ball then they play into their own attacking players
7. Swop midfielders as and when

Rules

1. Red player can ONLY receive in the central zone
2. 2nd ball has a shot clock
