Teams of 2 look to use the neutrals to get from one edge to the other. Each successful switch = 1pt. First to 5.

 

On the ball CAR
  • Cue: When we win the ball we are under pressure with no direct path to play a forward-facing pass
  • Action: Protect the ball, scan for options, demand help if needed
  • Reward: Higher chance of maintaining possession and the ability to play the ball to safety

Off the ball CARs

  • Cue: Teammate has just won the ball and an opponent is blocking the path for you to receive the ball
  • Action: Anticipate your teammate's best course of action and change your angle to make it a more viable option
  • Reward: It is easier for your teammate to find you and get the ball to safety

The side with 3 has their goalkeeper also - Wide players can only be used in transition but are there to communicate help to the team on the ball

Teams score in the goals nearest their team's side of 2. The ball will be played into groups of 3 and they can either aim for goal from distance or play into the 2 to score.

7pts if you can score without the other team regaining possession (2>3>2>goal)

3pts for winning the ball and then connecting the ball to the attacking half

1pt for scoring

 

On the ball CAR:

  • Cue: As we win the ball can we find ourselves in a numbers-down situation
  • Action: Can we find a high and wide player or space where we're numbers up?
  • Reward: Increase our chance of maintaining possession or even creating a counter-attack
Off the ball CAR:

  • Cue: As our teammate wins the ball we find ourselves compact
  • Action: Find space and move while communicating and ensuring our angle remains a viable passing option
  • Reward: Our teammate has an easier time connecting their first pass and beginning our attack. You have more time and space upon receiving the ball.

Neutral will be all-time attacker

Focus:

Expanding our shape quickly but intelligently. Ensuring there are both safe and aggressive options as a team and understanding which one you need to be in that transition.
