» Two 10 x 10 yd grids with 5 yds. in between.
» Two touch. 6 consecutive passes in your grid is a point.
» When defense team wins the ball, defenders play ball to opposite grid and join to create 4 in their grid. Two players from opposing team enter grid as defenders.
» If ball goes out of bounds, the team that touched it last begins next possession on defense.
» Coaching points should be focused on quick transition to attack, creating good angle of support, reading defenders on transition.
