Teams of 4 stay together throughout the session, rotate activities every [15] mins.
1) Rugby hockey
2 teams try and score by running the ball into the scoring zone. Rules: You can only pass the ball sideways (square) or behind. Player with the ball should try and run forward (into space) as far as possible to create space for the back pass
2) Wide gates
Pitch with one goal and 2 wide gates. Attackers vs defenders. Attackers try to score in the goal. If defenders steal and carry the ball to the attackers' backline, they become attackers ("turn + burn"), or reset [3] times and then swap teams over. Extra points for carrying the ball through the gates.
3) Man-marking game
Each player is only allowed to tackle one player from the opposition. Teams defend one goal each and score in the other goal.
4) Transfer game
If the defenders win the ball, they have to change channel before they can attack the goal. Score by shooting through the goal.
