Set up a square. Place 2 attackers at one end and 2 defenders at the opposite end.
The defenders start with the ball. The ball is played to one of the attackers and the defenders can now begin to assert pressure.
The attackers must utilize all of the space to spread the defenders and try to penetrate them, by moving and passing the ball to pull the defenders out of position.
If an attacker can cross the defenders starting line (with the ball under control =1 point
If the defenders manage to gain possession they become the attackers on the next turn =1 point
One defender should apply pressure to the attacker with the ball (in a good jockey stance).
The second defender should place themselves in a position where they can cover the space behind the first defender, while maintaining balance which will allow them to apply pressure to the second attacker if the ball is pass to them.
In the event of a pass, the defenders should quickly switch roles to apply pressure, cover and balnce at all times.
