Phase III (25 mins)

Jail Game! 8v8

Each team starts with a player in "jail" In order to score, the team must play into the square to release them creating a numbers up situation. The opponent closest to the jail when the player receives in the box will then enter the jail.

The White team, will now have 2 players in "jail". They must move the ball side to side to free both players and the go forward to goal. They will find that quick diagonals will be the easiest way to free the players.

CP:

-Patient moving the ball trying to until you can hit a diagonal

-Driven ball with laces.

-Quick passes to unbalance defending teams.

- Go to goal with numbers up quickly!
