Passing Box

GM Moment: Defensive Organisation - Mid-Blocks
Principle: Forming a compact structure to not allow forward space towards goal toplay to.
Sub-Principle: Collective team shape – working together to stay as a chain to closeboth width and depth
Practice Explanation: 67m x 50 grid (split 20-12-20-12-5).

Yellows set up in a 4-1-4-1 shape

Reds set up in a 4-2-3-1 shape

All reds can step forward

Only 1 from each grid can step backwards

Yellows can step forward as soon as they transition it forward

Attackers (Yellows) aim is to get the ball into the neutral zone - losing it will cause them to restart (3 points)

Reds aim is to win the ball (1 point) and then work it over back to the start (1 point)

If reds win it and don't work it back and yellows regain - must restart in shape and start again.

Progression:

2 reds are allowed to step backwards


Key Messages:

Keep your unit in a chain (both width & depth)
