  • Setup

    Split into 4 groups with 2 opposition players per group, start with anti-clockwise ball movement
  • Step 1

    Coach (A) starts by kicking the ball to a leading player from group (C), or to a contest
  • Step 2

    Group (C) must work the ball with handball in the appropriate direction to the next group (anti-clockwise = group B). Players must avoid the 2 opposition players in the group, who should can tackle, spoil, intercept, and harass to cause a turnover
    If the ball is turned over or a scrimmage occurs, handball back to the attackers to continue the exercise
    Players at the next group must stay within 10m of their cone
    Once the ball is touched by a player in the next group, all players return to their original station
  • Step 3

    The next group (B) repeat the process, working with hands past defenders to group (D), before group (D) work the ball to group (E) who have a shot on goal.
    Set or running shots can be taken
    Assistants can help by retrieving footballs and bringing them to the centre
  • Step 4

    Once all players have returned to their stations, coach (A) starts by kicking another ball, this time to a leading player from group (D), or to a contest at (D). Attackers must work the ball to group (E), who work it to (C), who work it to (B) for a shot on goal
  • Step 5

    Rotate the defenders every so often, and you may also wish to change direction to clockwise.
