• As ball is played the defender must close the space
• Attacking team must combine to score for a point .if the defender steels they can transition to score in the opposite goal.
• GK's (If applicable to your group)
• If using keepers have the defender serve the ball into the opposite keeper to start the attack. once the ball has been given to an attacker the keeper cant get it back until the coach allows it in later rounds .

• Be creative and use ball mastery skills to beat the defender
  
• Acceleration after skill or turn to beat the defender
• Execution & timing off combination (play at Speed)
  

• can the #9 play off the shoulder of the defender splitting the defenders line of sight

• can the #10 force pressure by isolating one defender to play through quick using space effectively

• head up before to see space behind defensive block
