Set-up
Split field into four vertical zones. Attacking team tries to play into each zone in sequence before switching back. Defending team of 6 tries to win possession. If won, they become attackers immediately.
Coaching points
- Move the ball into a zone before the defender covers it — timing not power
- Third man runs: don't wait, arrive into the next zone early
- Compactness when defending — squeeze the zone, don't chase individually
Progressions
- Restrict to two touches in the central zones to speed up decision-making
- Add a target player in each end zone who must receive before the sequence resets
