Dominating the Half Space

Improved ability to tilt opponents and use the half space to progress the ball.

The game setup consists of 3 teams of 4 players, with one team being neutrals (N) and positioned between the markers/in the half-space (highlighted by the green rectangle). The aim of the game is to work the ball from one neutral to another, but on the same side (as shown by the black line). This gains the possession team one point. Once a team plays from neutral to neutral, they retain possession and can play to the opposite side neutrals for another point, and so on. Team in possession can use any neutral, but can only score points in the method explained. Play 3-5 minute rounds - the losing team becomes the neutral team. Progression (red line): To score a point, the same rules apply, but instead of just passing to the static neutral, the team in possession need to play the ball into the space behind and the neutral needs to score in the mini goal on the run. The neutrals can only run between the markers to score so the pass forward needs to be precise.
