In the middle will be a defender, their job is to intercept the ball. If the ball is intercepted and caught, they must swap with whoever threw it. The object of the game is to focus on keeping the ball away from the defender but, also for the defender to work on their interception techniques. (If the ball has not been caught within 2 minutes, swap them out with another player)
