  • Setup

    Limit the playing zone to centre third. Choose 2 teams (one can have +1 if uneven numbers), elect attackers and defenders. Get a timer. Advanced teams: Give the attacking team some time to plan their defensive strategy, e.g. one-on-one vs zone defence

  • Step 1

    Start the timer. The attacking team pass the ball around, while the defending team attempt to intercept
    The intercept should be stealthy - don't move too early!
    If attackers spot an interception attempt, hold back from passing
    Induce an interception attempt by throwing a fake pass

  • Step 2

    If the defenders intercept they score 1 point. They then return the ball to the attackers and play continues.

  • Step 3

    Continue for 90 - 120 seconds. Defenders swap with attackers and try to beat the score in the same time.
