Set Up:
There are 12 players set up in the attacking third, playing 6v4. The Feeder begins play with a pass in to any one of the six attackers. From there, the attackers look to finish on goal, and the defenders look to delay, disrupt or destroy the play. If the defenders win the ball, they can score on the two small goals placed out on the flanks. When a goal is scored or the ball goes out of play, the Feeder re-starts play with the next ball.
Coaching Points:
1. Always pressure the player with the ball.
2. Be patient and contain the play. Do not stick a foot in.
3. Cover the most dangerous players first. Mark tight on those closest to the ball.
Progressions:
1. Progress to 7v5.
