Duration: 15 minutes
Equipment: 1 football and 4 marker cones per group of 4
How to play: Three attacking players on a square pass a football back and forth while a player in the centre of the square attempts to intercept the ball. Attacking players can move to the spare marker cone to receive the ball. Play in groups of 4.
Separate players into groups of 4 with one football, and set up a 3 metre by 3 metre square using marker cones.
The 3 attacking players stand at a marker and can only pass the ball to players on each of the sides of the square (not diagonally across the square).
To receive the ball, attacking players can move to the spare marker cone — they cannot run while holding the ball.
A fourth player in the centre attempts to intercept the ball or cause a fumble.
When the ball is intercepted, the attacking player who touched it last changes place with the interceptor.
