Divide a smaller playing area into two even halves
Split each team into:-
Two players in each half, with the extra player able to work across both
Conditions
The players divided in pairs can only operate within the half pitch that they have been allocated.
The extra player may move between both halves to provide overload (extra man) in attack or extra cover in defence as required.
Begin by playing touch. Start with just one touch to encourage quick movement. Progress to two then three touches.
Ball is turned over to opposition after either the number of touches, a knock on or by running out of play.
Defence must make effort to retreat correct distance.
