    • Pressing team is looking to win possession; every pass they connect afterwards counts as a point or they can finish on the goals for a point 
  • Round 2: 
    • Possession team is looking to connect 6 passes for 1 pt, then can score on near goal for additional +1 or furthest goal for +2
    • Pressing team is looking to win possession then score on either goal for 2 points, if they can win possession on the same half where ball was played and then score, 3 points 
  • Round 3: 
    • Possession team still has same objectives as RD2 
    • Pressing team is looking to win possession then score on either goals for 2 points. The only way they can receive an extra point this round is if they can intercept the ball within the first 3 passes of the activity 

Coaching Points:

  • Identify who is pressing 
  • Communicate roles/responsibilities 
  • How can we make it difficult for opposing team to move ball?
    • Compacting our spaces as a team 
  • When do we start beginning to form our shape?
