Organisation

Function

• Red team is set out as a 1-3-5-2, however the 3 CB are taken out
• Green team are set out as a 1-4-3-3, however the front 3 are taken out

Reds are looking to play in the wide areas with the no.10 looking to overload the wide area against the full back. They can do this either side with the 3 or 2. Here we are looking for overlapping runs and inward runs to create a problem for the opposition fullback. The ball starts with the 7 or 8 for the reds every time and it is a normal game. This is to keep it realistic and not predictable to the greens. If the reds get the ball into the side area, create an overload and score they get 2 points. The greens have to try and intercept the ball and score in one of the 3 goals available to them. The 2 and 3 for both teams are locked into the wide zones and only the no.10 for reds is allowed in there to create the overload
