Set-up
Five keep ball from two defenders. Two target players stand outside the grid — a point is scored by playing out to a target and receiving back. Forces players to look up and find the safe option.
Coaching points
- Eyes up — scan before you receive, not after
- Defenders press as a pair; cut the passing angle, don't just chase
- Play the easy pass first; make the clever pass when it's on
Progressions
- Reduce grid to 12x12 to limit time on the ball
- Require two passes to targets in sequence before earning a point
