    Numbers up pyramid (15 mins)

    • Activity Name-  Numbers up attacking pyramid.
    • Activity Description- Arrange players as shown with increasing numbers in each row. 1 ball per row. First player comes out to attack has five seconds to score, once their turn is done they spin and defend against the pair of players. After this turn finishes the original single player leaves the court and the pair stay on to defend, keep going in this manner until you reach 4v3. Should the numbers be lower you can have the defenders that leave the court quickly join the row of 3/4. Once complete have players switch up which row they start on. Have two wide goals for defenders to attack should they win the ball
    • Progression/ Variations-  Flip the pyramid and play an overload in defense instead if you feel the players need a different challenge.
