Organization

Create with markers a playing rectangle. Arrange the players freely in the area. Place two big cones inside the rectangle. The players are divided into two teams of four members each (red against white in the picture). Keep a good supply of balls outside the perimeter of the playing area.

Description

The two teams must try to hit with the ball, with a precision pass, the cones placed in the field while maintaining possession of the ball
The players of the team that does not have the ball (red team in the picture) must win possession by closing all passing lines on the cones to prevent the opponents (white team in the picture) from hitting them
The players of the team in possession of the ball (white) must make quick changes of zone, with precise and fast passes, trying to clear passing lines that allow them to hit the cones with precision shots

Rules

For each cone knocked down, 1 point is awarded
Upon reaching eight consecutive passes without an opponent's interception, 1 point is awarded

Variations

Limit the number of touches (e.g., three max)
To make the game easier and more fun for younger players, place three or more cones in the field
