The Game
Since the playing area is longer than it is wide, the emphasis is on creating length (height) in the
game. In this game, there is a premium placed on playing the ball forward early. The ball can be
played early:
• To a target player who is coming back for the ball with a defender behind them (as
shown in diagram).
• To a player running forward away from the server.
Scoring
• Stopping the ball anywhere on the line.
• Passing the ball through an open goal.
This Game Emphasizes
• Vision
• Changes in direction and speed of play.
• Appropriate use of firm touch.
• Long and short passing
