Game (30 mins)

Description :

> Conditioned Game

> Light Blue attacks 6 vs 4 + 3 against Dark Blue towards the large goal. White plays neutral. The 2 outside white players can come into Zone 4 once Light Blue has advanced the ball past the red line (into Zone 2), but the central white player must stay inside his gate (can still be used to keep possession).

> Light Blue has to move the ball from side to side before being able to attack the goal. Successful transition from side to side earns Light Blue 1 point. A goal scored is worth 5 points.

> If Dark Blue wins the ball they can score a point by playing the opposite side white player in Zone 4 and they can use the central white player to help keep possession.

>Play 8 minute rounds and then switch.
