The Game

  • Break up the squad into 3 equal teams, A, B and C.

  • Two of the teams are on attack (A and B) and C defends.

  • If a B player causes the attacking teams to lose possession, then all of the B's become defenders while the A's and C's attack together.

  • Make sure play keeps flowing.


Coaching Points

  • Communication.

  • Passing and receiving.

  • Team balance on attack and defense.

  • Attacking and defending principles.

  • This game has the added element of peer pressure. Players do not want to lose the ball because it means their teammates will need to defend also.
