1) Orange starts with ball with aim of scoring in blue goal (1 v 1)

4) Progression: 2 v 1 attacking - can defender apply pressure to ball carrier whilst cutting off pass?

5) Progression: 2 v 1 defending - can defenders effectively double-team?

- If team defending is awarded 16 or free hit (in own half) restart quickly from middle and attack

- Scoring: 3pts for goal & 1pt for getting into the D (Defence must stop!); 1pt for successful double-team.
