Instructions:

The group inside the grid start with the balls in the center of the grid.

They are to dribble to make a at least 8y pass to a player on the outside. This pass has to be through one of the gates, through any angle. The player on the ouside has to move to create the passing lane with the player inside.

After the outside player receives the ball, he is to pass it back to the inside player by putting it outside of the gate that was just played into. The inside player should move to create a passing lane ouside of the gate.

The player inside dribbles to find another player on the outside and execute the same combination.
