Organization:

A playing area is split into five separate grids . One player will occupy each of the five grids. You will need one ball.

Yellow players pass the ball among themselves. After making a pass, the passer must change grids with another player right, left, or in the center of the area. Players are allowed two touches.

Organization:

Each team is separated into their own five zone area.
