Mark an area 15m wide and 20m long.
3 Attackers vs 2 Defence vs 2 Defence
Have the 2 lines of 2 Defenders 5-7m apart
The 3 Attackers beat the first 2 defenders and then attack and beat the 2nd line.
If an Attacker is touched by a Defender then they have to pass the ball.
Stop every 2-3 runs to do stretches for a minute.
To reset the play:
The last 2 Attacking players to touch the ball become the second line of defense. The 2 Defenders from the original first defensive line move forward and with the other leftover Attacker they become the new Attackers.
Make sure every player has a few rotations in Attack and Defence.
Get the Attackers not to start in the same position every time.
This works on decision making for both Attackers and Defenders.
