Screen 110 mins

- 1 sweeper (S) in
each end zone –
three players each
playing man for
man in the center
• Players in center
zone have to beat
their marker and
they can then go
unopposed up
against sweeper
and GK

Progression
• No other player
except for the one
with the ball may
go into end zones
• GK’s must start
every attack
• allow the sweeper
to advance if they
win the ball back in
the later stages of
this game

Key Factors
• mark man to man -
be tight
• sweeper should be
mirroring the play
in front of them
and ready for the
break at all times
• GK and sweeper
should be talking to
the players in front
of them
