Players - defending side GK , 2,3,4,5,6 & 8 ( 7 players), attacking side 5,6,8,10,7,9 & 11 (7 players)  14 players in total.

Set out bibs in the start positions you want each time we reset.

Make sure players know to return to those positions prior to the restart.

Game rules.

Defending side plays out long from GK into the central area. The white team then has to win the ball. Once they have possesion they combines to create a goal scoring opportunity.

If the ball goes out of play, the ball restarts again from the GK.

If the white team wins the ball they have 20 seconds to play the ball through either of the gates.

The white team's player must be in the opposition's half ( 5 metre zone) to play it through the gates.

Blue 5 must stay in the 5 yard zone - players can use him to maintain possesion.

Offside rule applies.

Team Task - To create goal scoring opportunities by combination play in our attacking third.

Use the white board to demonstrate positions and reinforce the team task.

Ask them to be patient, but maintain ball speed.

Get them playing, then work through the checklist.

Start, Organization, Attitude, Ability, Understanding, Shape, Self.

When happy re-affirm the team task with the first intervention.
