Pressing from the Front

Purpose - high pressing behaviours and force errors in opposition defensive thirds

Intended outcomes - recognise pressing cues, use triggers and work as a unit to regain possession.

8 v 6 + 2 GK

SSG - area depending on number of players 

Red Team starts as attacking and first Green players will press to score or forcing errors.

Other 3 Greens will look to block passes through the middleswitch to the other side.

Greens win the ball they can score in that half but if blockers when they can turn and play forwards.
