6v4 + 2 game (30 mins)

Functional 7v5 +1v1 game

- Attacking 6 try to find their target player in the end zone for a point

- Defending 4 (5) try to prevent the attackers from building up and recover the ball to score in the big goal

- Switch roles each game so players try all new positions

- Play 6x4' games

- Attacking team must have at least 1 player above the white hold back line (doesn't have to be the #6)

Progressions: 

- Target player can switch with the number #6, but defending players must stay in the end zone (passing the player off)

Coaching points: 

- Spread out, create space and options

- Play forward when possible, but if not possible, find a new gap by moving the ball quickly side to side

- Play 1-2 touches to move the ball quickly

- Back 4 should keep the 'tea cup' shape, so the #6 has space to drop into the middle (center of the wheel)
