Postmen

1. Mark an area 18 metres wide and 22 metres long. Split it into three: an end zone about 4 metres deep at each end, and the middle between them.
2. In each end zone, two players with a ball (the postmen) and two without. In the middle, two defenders holding a bib in their hand.
3. A postman dribbles into the middle and passes to one of the free players in the far end zone, then runs to that zone and takes the receiver's place. The receiver is now a postman.
4. Under pressure in the middle, a postman may pass back to a free player in their own end zone instead, and takes that player's place.
5. A defender who wins a ball swaps roles at once: the bib goes on the ground and the player who lost the ball picks it up.

The postman decides which line to dribble into the middle on, away from the two defenders, and when to release the pass before a defender closes in. Then comes the choice of receiver: forward to the far end, or back to their own end when the way forward is blocked. The players waiting in the end zones move along it to give the postman a free line, and the defenders decide which postman to go after.
