Organization:
Teams play 2v2 on a long narrow field. The game starts with a long pass from the defenders to the attackers. The attackers try to beat the two defenders and pass the ball to either of the next two waiting defenders. Once a defender receives, the next turn begins. When the defenders win the ball, they try to pass the ball to the next two waiting attackers. Once those attackers receive, play re-starts with a pass the ball to the other side. When the ball goes over the sideline, the players can dribble or pass the ball back onto the field.
