Set up

Field

Create a 50x30 yrd field divided into Zones A, B, and C. Make the central zone about 10x30 yrds.

Players

10 or more players. Play 5vs5, adding neutrals if needed. Use two teams, Red and Yellow.

How it runs

1. 1.Work for 20 minutes with 3 rest periods of 2 mins at 5-minute intervals.
2. 2.The possession team must keep exactly one player in the outside zone opposite the area where the rest of the team and the ball are located.
3. 3.No more than one possession player may occupy that opposite outside zone.
4. 4.The team keeps the ball and looks to switch it across the central zone to that lone target player.
5. 5.All passes crossing the middle zone must stay on the ground.

After each rep

If the ball is lost before the switch, the new possession team replaces the target in the opposite zone with one of its own players.

How to win

A successful switch from one outside zone to the other earns 1 point; after the pass, every teammate except one shifts into the new ball-side zone.
