Set up
- 15 by 20 yard area split in half

How it works
The possessing team will start with the ball in their half and have to make 5 passes or play a pass that splits the defenders for 1 point.
2 defenders may enter the half and if they are able to win the ball back they must try to pass it back to their teammates in their respective half. If the ball goes out off the defending the possessing team will restart play however their pass tally will reset to 0.
If the ball goes out off the possession team then the defending team will become the possessing team. The team with the most amount of points will win
