Cross-Grid Split Pass

Recognising and executing the line-breaking pass — disguise, timing and weight through a defended corridor.

Two 15x15 grids separated by a 10-yard corridor patrolled by two defenders. A possession group in each grid.

1. The ball circulates in one grid until the corridor opens, then a split pass is threaded to the far grid.
2. Corridor defenders shift to block passing lanes; they win a point for each interception.
3. Each successful split earns a point; the receiving grid takes over possession.
4. Rotate corridor defenders every three minutes.

• Move the defenders with circulation — the split is earned, not forced.
• Disguise: look one lane, play the other.
• Pass weight matters — firm enough to beat the defender, soft enough to control.
• Far-grid players: drop into the gap as the lane opens, don't stand statically.

• Players force the split through a closed lane every third pass — patience; circulation opens the corridor.
• The split is attempted without a receiver moving to meet it — both ends of the pass matter.
• Defenders are allowed to camp in one lane — make them shift with the ball so the picture keeps changing.

• Three corridor defenders.
• Receiving grid must hit a one-touch layoff on arrival.
• Splits below knee height only.

• One corridor defender.
• Wider corridor.
• Allow lofted passes over the corridor at first, then ban them.

• Split passes along the ground only — chips don't count.
