Instructions:

Red team has to connect 3 passes and then play across to other red team for 1 point.
Soon as they've played across, they then become the defending team. Blue team goes in to bottom zone.
If defending team ever wins the ball, game becomes 4v4 going towards goal. Goal counts as 2 points.
If red team wins ball back after losing it to blues, they can play right across to other side.
Switch must be on the ground.

Coaching Points/Questions:

Which direction should we try to show opponent on the ball soon as its played in? (Inside towards our defending teammates)
What angle run and body shape should we take when pressing the opponent on the ball? (Curved run that closes off the wide channel first).
Where should the defending players in the middle zone position themselves once pass towards the inside is played? (Ready to cover, one comes closer in towards the ball, other one a bit deeper for balance)

Regressions/Progressions:

P: Switch can be in the air.
P: Remove # of passes. Soon as ball is played in red team can get across whenever.
R: 5 passes for passing teams before they can play across.
