1 v 1 + 1 in each flank zone. 2 v 2 + 1 in the zone above the 18. 2 v 2 in the 18. To score attacking team must switch the pitch before either playing a ball into their team in the 18 or to the top of the 18 for a shot at goal. If defending team wins the ball they must switch before attacking. If ball goals out of bounds re-start from feeder, if goalie gets the ball he throws out to one of the flank zones.
Expanding the space-when attacking use entire width and depth. Switch the field quickly. Open up to receive and pass quickly. Make good decisions, is a long pass on or do I need to play short. Finishing 1st time if I can, 2nd if I must.
