• Quickly transition between attack and defence.

Setup

• The field between the 23-metre line and the centre line is divided into two parts.
• There are three teams of 3 players each.
• Two teams play against each other, while the third team has a rest period.
• Team 1 and Team 2 play against each other: The objective of Team 1 is to score. The objective of Team 2 is to get the ball to Team 3.
• When a goal is scored, the other team must switch to defence for the next game.
• Example: Team 1 scores against Team 2, then Team 2 plays as the defensive team against Team 3.
• When Team 2 intercepts the ball, they pass it to Team 3.
• Team 3 starts the attack on Team 1 as soon as they receive the ball.
• Team 1 then transitions from attack to defence.
• Team 2 takes the place of Team 3 and waits for the game between 3 and 1 to conclude.

Variations

• The number of players per team can be adjusted.
• The field can be made narrower.

Key Points

• The game should continue as much as possible.
• As a coach, it is helpful to have enough balls on hand to support the game.
