To score the player on the ball has to run the ball into the marked area. Here (1) runs the ball in chased by (C) then must look to pass to another player and attack the opposite way.

Once the team has scored they have to then keep possession and can attack the other end zone.

Coaching Points:

  1. Run with the ball whenever possible

  2. First touches to be forward.

  3. Keep the ball moving

  4. If you can’t run with the ball look for a give and go and then run again

  5. Have the positive attitude to run at them to score.

Build an overload into the game if necessary with an extra floating player if it is too difficult to get free with equal numbers making it a 4 v 3 in favor of the attacking team always.
