Press, cover, balance in order to win ball back and transition over the half way line.

Organisation

Two attacking players setup on the half way line with two defenders against them.

The exercise begins with the GK throwing the ball to the atacker, who must then combine in the attacking half to score.

The half they are attacking is split into two, meaning the attackers must stay within one half of this attacking half.

If the ball goes out of play, the attacking team leave the court, the GK then restarts the game by throwing the ball to the next attacking team that is waiting at the Half way line. 

The 1st team of attackers would then become defenders after the 2nd team of attackers has finished.

If defenders win possesion, they are to attempt to dribble the ball over the half way line, or pass to their teammate for them to receive it on the halfway line.

Progression

3v3 +1 GK.

Defending team have to dribble the ball over the half way line to force the attackers to become defenders.
