Set-up
Three teams of 4 plus 4 neutrals on the outside. Two teams compete; the third rests. Team in possession uses outside neutrals. When they lose it, the team that won it becomes possession team and the previous possession team becomes defenders. Light intensity — the point is decision-making, not running.
Coaching points
- Use the neutrals — they're free, they exist for a reason
- Transition moment: the second you lose it, your job changes immediately
- Keep the ball moving; standing on it is a bad habit we're not starting here
Progressions
- Neutrals restricted to one touch only
- Team must play through a neutral before switching sides
