Football Problem -

When we lose the ball in the opposition half, we struggle to regain possession quickly.

What -

Transition to defend by pressing the ball.

Why -

So we can counter attack.

How to Play

Play always begins with a switch across the 20 metre line. Ball is played in to middle players who play a 1-2 and play out of the opposite side.
