Set Up:

The seven attackers maintain possession versus four defenders. One attacker must stay inside of the central zone during play. Defenders are free to move anywhere on the field. When the defending team wins the ball, they bring it inside of the central zone and play 4v1 with a one touch limit. If the lone defender touches the ball or it goes out of the zone, the seven attackers take possession. If the defender in the 4v1 cannot win the ball within 30 seconds, he switches out of the zone with a teammate. The teams score one point for making ten consecutive touches and an additional two points if they make 20 touches in a row.

Coaching Points:

1.  Individual Defending – Approach the ball from an angle and force play in one direction.

2.  Concentration – Do not ‘switch off’ if you lose the ball. Immediately try to win it back.

3.  Team Defending – Pressure the ball and cover the two attackers closest to the ball. The fourth defender balances the field.

Progressions/Regressions:

Progression 1 – Play 8v5 to 5v2.

Regression 1 – Play 7v3 to 3v1.
