Challenges:

Can the FB and winger look to create as many overloads in their channel as possible.

Targets:

Reds- Create 2 v 1's against the opposition full back and score in the main goal

Blues- Play the server within 10 seconds of winning the ball.

Key technical & tactical points for winger

Coaching points:

Winger-

1. If the FB is marking quite tightly can we look to draw him in closer to our FB then as you create enough space behind, spin and look for the ball over the top of him into the space. (To recieve long, come short)

2. If the FB is standing off you can we look to get as close as possible to him, maybe see if you can pull him any higher then quickly drop into the space to recieve the ball at your feet. (To recieve short, go long)

3. As the FB recieves the ball thats your trigger for either NO 1, NO 2 or if his first touch is a good touch forward and is not closed down can you look to play on either the inside of the opposition full backs shoulder or have your heels right on the touchline.
