4 Attackers start in the D man-marked by 4 defenders (defenders can only tackle their allocated player).
Remaining players surround the D with one ball each.
To score, the attackers must collect a pass from a player at the top of the D and carry the ball into the marked scoring zone then complete a pass back to a player on the outside of the D.
Outside players can move balls between them if required.
Defending players try to clear the ball through the defenders out of the D (balls can be replaced by coaches).
Progression 1: Attackers can only pass back to a player on the outside who is without a ball.
Progression 2: Coach doesn't replace balls. Game ends when all the balls have been cleared by defenders.
Progression 1: Head up - being aware of which of your team-mates are open for a pass
Progression 2: Players on the outside to make it difficult for defenders to clear. As balls decrease, players will need to make moves off the ball to create space for team-mates. Outside players may need to play the ball between them (transfer play) to create more space.
