Game Training (20 mins)

Field Size: Half Field

Players: 16

Equipment: 20 balls, 1 full size goal

Explanation:

Ball always starts with a goal kick. The blue team must attempt to play the ball out from the back and find 1 of the target men. As soon as the ball is played into 1 of the target men, possession changes over to the red team, who are attacking the Full size goal. Blue team must attempt to close down and win the ball back as quickly as possible. The target man who receives the ball, becomes an attacking full back for the red team. 

If the Blue team fail to find 1 of their target men whilst playing out from the back, they are also to try and win the ball back immediatley. 

When the red team gain possession of the ball, they are to make quick forward passes and attempt to score. They have a maximum of 10 seconds to take a shot on goal.

Scoring Method:

Blue -  1 point for a successful pass into the target man. 1 point for winning the ball within 10 seconds off reds.
