very simple game to set up with 2 goals and a zoned off middle.2 def v 2 attackers plus gk with another feeding balls into the attackers from zoned off section(mirrored). object is for att to score and the def trying to cover each others position whilst stopping them from scoring and using the ball once obtain to score themselves.on the right is the scoring play and the left in the interception play.
att get a point for scoring whilst the def gets a point by geting the ball off attackers and passing it to the feeder person, to advance this allow the feeder to join the attack once hes played the ball into them. def can now score by interceping/tackling and running in zoned off area.
