If the intercept is made the ball needs to be switched to score in the other area . If the attacking team recieves the long ball they need to score in the mini goals . Any breakdown or turnover means the ball must be played to the opposite area .
If there is no ball in play a coach or free player can play a ball in to any area to restart the drill .
