Explanation

The objective is for Reds to transfer the ball through middle zone to opposite end zone, trying to work out when and how to play through, around and over the opposition when 5 passes have been made by Red team, Defending team send a player in to the area to aim to challenge.

How

Coach works with Blue team only. Blues to be organised so they are compacted to ensure different challenges are met and to keep shape and concentration. Especially when pressing, this gives them a different challenge to overcome the change in shape.

Conditions, Challenges and Targets

2. 3 touches maximum by attacking players due to additional pressure.

3. If Defending players win or intercept the ball then ball is given to opposite end zone and blue defender goes back in middle and drill resets.
