The partcipants will be split into two groups ( blue vs red). 1 player from each team will stand at the green gates at both sides of the pitch ( attacker vs defender). the other players are required to pass to each other 3 times then pass to the attacker. the attacker must get by the defender and beat goalkeeper to score a goal.
The defenders in the green gates must put on pressure and mark the attackers so when the ball is passed to the attacker then defender can easily intercept and win the ball. the players in the middle of the park are required to communicate and work together to make 3 passes without the opposite players winning the ball. Pass the ball to your team mates by using the inside of your foot to pass the ball to your team mates.
