Players play 2 v 1 on appropriate sized pitch, aim of the game is to pass the ball through the centre square to score a point. 

If the player in centre square intercepts the pass, they should try and quickly score a goal. Game continues until one side has 5 points/goals. Rotate players and play again.

This exercise asks the players on the outside to work hard by moving the ball quickly to create passing angles, the centre player should be checking their shoulder to read and react to the movement of the receiving player and try to pinch the ball.

Players should maintain social distancing at all times.
