The rules

Colors Passing--Half of the players in red bibs, half in blue. Teams playing AGAINST each other in the same space must combine 3 or 5, or 10 passes (depending on age and ability) . 

The game is simple and one that was taught to me by Andy McCulloch, former Q.P.R., Cardiff City, Oxford United, Brentford, Sheffield Wednesday, Crystal Palace and Aldershot player.  An all round legend! 

• If a team achieves their passing goal, they get a point.

• If the ball goes out of play then reset the game and roll a new ball in
• If the defending team touches the ball, the passing count reset
