Player C & D will defend both goals.

Player C is only allowed to leave his spot once Player B leaves to defend against the throw in.

Once the ball is thrown, Player D is allowed to come in and help defend to make it a 2v2.

Encourage player B to give a simple touch back to player A and move into space after passing it back to the thrower.

Once Ball goes out of bounds, ball goes in one of the nets or play is dead. Player A & B will switch roles. Players C& D will also switch roles.

Half way through the activity SWITCH Defenders and Attackers.

Point for every point scored, count points and see which team can score the most goals.

Emphasis

100% Proper Throw ins. 2 feet on the ground, follow through and aiming towards players feet for an easier control of the ball.

Sheilding off defender from getting the ball off the throw in.

An easy pass back is an option but if the defender allows space and time to turn, let it happen.
