Players split into 3 teams. One stays on the outside as part of the attacking team. The others must stay inside the D as attack vs defence.
If the defence steal the ball they pass or carry the ball through orange gates.
Variant 1 - Balls are played in from the outside - can move around the outside and be played back out at any point.
Variant 2 - once the ball enters the D it cannot be passed back out.
Change teams after 5 balls.
Constant movement inside the D. Pivot the ball arouns the outside of the D. Also movement around the outside of the D will make it less predictable.
Lead into and out of space to create space for team-mates. Running off the ball side to side.
V2 - when we know the ball can only enter once, how does this change decision making and movement of the ball outside the D prior to entry?
