You can have 8 players in a grid. Two players to a color. This is a great drill for communication and thinking two passes ahead. The players really like it Start with unlimited touches, then 2 touch, then 1 touch, back to 2 touch and end with unlimited.

You know, I'd forgotten that drill. We used it a lot with the last adult team that I played on, almost 20 years ago now, and it is a great idea.

I've got my season pretty much mapped out for my girls this year (I'm going to be introducing the Ajax game to younger kids than I have before), but I'm thinking I may have to find time for this game. What I like about is the premium it places on talking.
