Screen 1

The Objective is to switch the ply and score inside the Shaded Box

Target 1: Switching the ball from side to side with speed to shift the opposition

Target 2: Look to recycle the ball if the pass forward is not on

Target 3: If the wide play is not an option can we look to do a chain switch to move the ball around

Target 4: When you get into the shaded box can you play the ball to the end player

Condition 1: Both Teams are getting marked individually by the opposing position

Condition 2: The Outside players are on 1 Touch

Challenge 1: The back line 2 play with 3 touches

Challenge 2: Can you drop away from your defender as the person passing it to you has just received the ball

Challenge 3: Once the switch has occurred and there is no space in front of the player can they try a direct switch across

Challenge 4: If the neutrals receive the ball and no one is there to receive it can they hit a direct switch

Coaching Point 1: Difference between Direct and Chain Switch

Coaching Point 2: Create Width and Depth when the ball goes wide- Don't be in the same line as your team mate

Coaching Point 3: Open out with the back foot to open out the space
