ALL GAMES PLAY FOR 2 MINS AND ROTATE - THESE ARE HIGH WORK RATE GAMES.
1 V 1 - ONE END SERVES TO THE OTHER. THE RECEIVING PLAYER TRIES TO PLAY A BALL INTO THE OUTSIDE PLAYER ON THE OTHER END. IF SUCCESSFUL THEY MUST THEN SHOW TO THE BALL AND TRY TO GO TO THE OTHER END. IF DEFENDER WINS THE BALL THEY TRY TO PLAY THE BALL INTO THE OTHER END AND IF SUCCESSFUL THEY MUST SHOW TO THE BALL AND TRY TO GO THE OTHER DIRECTION.
IF BALL GOES OUT OF BOUNDS - RESTART FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
SAME IDEA FOR THE OTHER TWO PROGRESSIONS.
HIGH WORK RATE, THIS IS NOT A SHIELDING EXERCISE , IT IS BEAT SOMEONE AND LAY THE BALL OFF AND SHOW.
DEFENSE- CONTAIN AND TAKE AWAY PASSING LANE.
1 V 2 - STAY DEEPER THAN BOTH, BACK TO GOAL PLAYING FROM INSIDE OUT.
2 V 2 - SAME RULES AS 1 V 1
