Set up: 50 X 40 yds rectangle. Recangles set up from bottom to top, 15 yds, 10 yds and 25 yds. Split teams into 2, Blue (possession team) and red (defending team). Set blues up in a 3-2-2 and reds up in a 3-1-1. Blues start out from the back and progress forward, zone by zone. As blues progress into the middle zone, a defender can follow to make it 3 v 1. As blues progress into forward zone, 2 blues can follow in making it 4 v 3. If reds win possession back at any time, they can attempt a counter.
Blueâs organise strategy with numerical advantage of 3v2. Quick re-organisation required to deal with numerical disadvantage of 3v4 On gaining possession: quick adjustments necessary to initiate counter-attack.
