Organisation

Cones are used to create a double 10x10 meters area as shown. Players are split into four pairs.
All pairs are identified with different colored vests.

Description and Graphics

One pair is defending. Team who loses the ball or makes a mistake will replace the defending team.
Game is always played on one side but after several passes the players in possession can change the side and continue the play on the other half.
In that case the defenders follow the play to the other grid.
The coach must determine which pair must follow the ball to the other half to support.

For example:

  • the pair whose player passes the ball to the other half
  • the other pair

When the defenders just touch the ball the play continues on the other side.
The defenders replace the mistaken team and have a resting period at the 'inactive' half.
Game must be played by one or two touches.
