Set-up
4v4 with two neutrals always on the side of the team in possession. On turnover, the game flips immediately — the two neutrals switch allegiance. Teams must transition instantly. High tempo, full effort.
Coaching points
- Win the ball and go — the best moment to attack is the first three seconds after a turnover
- Neutrals: read the transition and position early, not after it happens
- Losing team: press immediately, don't jog back
Progressions
- Remove neutrals and play pure 5v5 to increase individual responsibility
- Add end-zone targets — team earns a point by running the ball into the far end zone within five seconds of winning it
