Game devised to get players thinking about reseting and covering channels. To begin each player is given a channel to defend, when the coach calls reset the players need to get to the reset line in there channels as quickly as possible as if the opposing team where starting from a free pass. Once the players are picking up the space, let them organise themselves into defending the channel, once that is going well remove the cones and call the reset.
Get the players talking to each other. Once they have got to grips with playing then reset being called and they go to their channels well, the coach then tells the players to organise themselves and and they cannot go into a channel they were in at the beginning.
