Diagram 1. Set-Up Arrangement

Set-Up

• Using a 20x15yrd grid arrange 4 attacking players and 2 defenders. A half way line (yellow line) is placed half way between the two grids.

Instructions

• The attacking team aims to maintain possession of the ball and play from one grid to the other grid (across the yellow line).
• The defenders have 2 different roles. One is allowed to pressure the ball and attempt to intercept or win possession (i.e. D1). The second defender defends the line and attempts to prevents passes going from one grid to the other. The second defender (D2), can only move up and down the half way line and cannot enter the grid, until the pass is passed into the other grid. For example:
• A1 passes to A2 to maintain possession.
• A2 looks to play forward (i.e. to A4) but can't because of the position of the defenders. So he/she plays the ball sideways to A3.
• A3 looks up on receiving the ball and sees A4 open in the second grid and passes the ball through.
• Once the ball is passes across the line, two of the attacking players from grid can cross over to grid B to support A4. (Refer to Diagram 2).
  
• Once the ball goes from grid A to grid B, the defenders switch roles. D2 goes into grid B to pressure and D1 defends the line. (Refer to Diagram 2).

Scoring

• The attacking team attempts to make 3 passes into the opposite grid whilst maintaining possession.
• Players switch roles after 3 passes are made or after the defenders have won the ball 5 times.
