Organization

Set a 35x30m area with a target line. Build-up team uses a back line plus two pivots against five pressers. Score by progressing under control across the target line after connecting through or around the pivots.

Coaching Points

Pivots should not stand on the same line | One can show while the other moves away | Use bounce passes when turning is blocked | Move the press before playing through | Secure the next pass after escaping

Progressions

  • Reduce space and require progression within a set number of passes.

Regressions

  • Use four pressers and increase the width.
