Maximilian Gieseler Coach, Germany

DESCRIPTION

Description 3 players attack a 10-15m channel with three stacked/ zigzagged defenders carrying contact shields. The ballcarrier tries to draw or fix a defender to one side and then pass to a support player running out the ball. The new ballcarrier draws the next defender and passes to the third player in support who needs support from the first carrier. All attacking players should look for a second touch of the ball and one should touch down at the end. Don't forget to change the defenders regularly.
