  • When successful, the roles reverse and the 4 players attack to score on the large goal.
  • The 3 defenders try to play the ball against the rebound board.
  • If the attackers score at the start, the trainer throws a new ball to the players behind the line and the game continues from there.
Objective
  • The defenders must close off the centre and block the passing lanes between the attackers.
  • The aim is not to take the ball directly but to guide the attackers until they make a mistake and the ball can be intercepted.
