A fun unsettled build up game to do with your players!

Set Up

Using the gameplay within the 12M arc, set up 2 offensive lines on each wing and 1 up top. Add a defending line between the 2 wings, and add 1 up top. There are 5 offense lines and 3 defense. The game starts with coach throwing the ball into 1 wing play, all 3 players are in making it a 2v1 to the goal. Once the play ends, the 3 players stay in play and coach will pass to another perimeter offense players, the closest defender comes in, now its a 3v2 to the goal. Continue build up adding 1 offense and 1 defense after each rep, until you get to 5v4 or 6v5

Coaching Points & principles

  • Offense – Finding the advantages – there is always an extra player so we want to move the ball quick finding the open teammate and best shot possible
  • Defense – Communication, slide and recovery as we are always playing with 1-less player
