Playing Forward: Receiving & Passing
players grouped into 4s; 3 attackers / defender (3v1)
pitch has two boxes at either end
attackers try to transfer the ball from one box to the other and back, as
many times as possible (scoring a point each time they do)
defender tries to win the ball and keep possession and have as many
touches as possible scoring a point for three consecutive touches
Progression
if players manage to transfer the ball three times successfully they can
attack and score in the opposite goal, but must get into the box nearest
that goal to score
