4 As start in one zone against 3 Ds
4 As try to score in goal past GK & 3 Ds must use good collective positional play to defend the goal
If Ds win the ball, they should then pass the ball immediately to one of their teammates in the other zone where the same attacking scenario is created for the blues (4v3)
First team to 5 goals, if goal scored team which just conceded start with ball from GK
Time limit on As - 8 - 10 seconds
Ds should leave widest A free - all 3 stay in centre to defend
GK & Ds - good communication
