Progression
 Area 40m x 30m, divided in half
3 reds in one area, 3 blues in the other, numbered (1) – (3)
One ball with each group as in diagram
One red (4) on the touchline behind the blue players
One blue (4) on the touchline behind the red players
Red (4) and blue (4) can move anywhere along the line – but not on to the central area.
PRACTICE (which must be competitive) In the beginning 3 reds and 3 blues pass the ball amongst themselves, moving around their area and as they do this they are trying to create an opening to deliver a pass to their number (4), who in turn moves up and down the line trying to free himself from any marker – ONE POINT IF THE 4 TH PLAYER IS REACHED SUCCESSFULLY
Coaches must insist on one or two touch passing as blues and reds inter-pass – no player dwelling too long on the ball, with all players moving around their 20m x 30m area.
Also no.4’s must stay close to the line, and to score a point, they must receive the ball ON or NEAR TO the line itself.
So the ball can be passed along the ground, driven, or chipped to the no.4 player.
TO PROGRESS No.4 comes on to the line, and the other players play 3 v 3 (one touch or two touch) around the entire area – the idea again being to get the ball to their own no. 4 who has to be in control of the ball to score the point.
N.B. No.4 must stay on the line |
