Description

This is the final TDG of the cycle so we are going to have a games night.

Split the group into teams (2 or 3 teams) of 8ish players, each team will have a coach for assigned for the evening. Each team short choose a name for the evening, the coach will conduct a 10 mins team warm up and work out positions / tactics etc.

  • Round one each team will split in half into 4/5s and we will play a round of end zone for 20 mins
  • Round two the teams will reform into the whole team and we will play 5 aside across the pitch

Teams get 3pts for a win, 1 pt for a draw and 0 for a loss. All pts should be recorded during the evening and the winners will be photo graphed with the cup.
