Vertical Chaos

Pitch: Lay out four flat markers as a parallelogram, the depth is about 10 to 15 metres, the width 5 to 10 metres. One flat marker each lies at the front and at the back on the longitudinal axis, the two remaining ones in between on the left and on the right.

Equipment: 4 flat markers, 1 ball.

Players: All 4 flat markers are occupied by one player each, the player at the bottom has the ball. With 5 or 6 players 2 further flat markers can be added for more depth, with 8 players the format should be set up twice.

• The player on the ball starts with any pass, there is no set direction.
• The ball may only be played one-touch.
• The passing line from the right-hand to the left-hand player and vice versa is closed, so play is only allowed forwards or backwards.
• After every pass the passer must look for a new flat marker.
• A player may also be passed to while changing flat markers, which makes one-twos possible.
