Passing Tech/Skill

Each team has a side. While the ball is on the red side, the blues can put one defender in the reds side to try and win the ball (and pass back to the blues) and 2 blues into the 2 goals to try and block shots. The other blues have to stay in their half and be ready to get the ball and play once the reds shoot or the blues win it. The reds have to try and score through one of the goals, team roles reverse when the ball enters the other side.
