DESCRIPTION

  • 2 defenders in the circle.
  • Red 3 passes the ball between the reds but cannot pass to the player the ball came from.
  • If Red 1 receives the ball, Green 1 (the nearest defender) calls 'ball' and goes to cover the ball keeping the 3ft distance.
  • Green 2 moves back, calls 'hole' and zones the area.
  • Green 1 aims to intercept passes from the thrower and Green 2 goes for the interception from the receiver.

    • COACHING POINTS

  • ensure communication is heard
  • defenders to keep on their toes
  • If more people in the group, add rule that reds cannot pass ball to players either side of them
