Blue team have to try and score by can only do so by filling all 5 channels. The defending red team can only go in the central 3 channels to start with. On the transition, the roles switch
Progressions:
– Defending team can go anywhere but can only fill 3 channels at a time.
– Defending team can go anywhere.
Key Points:
The fullback and wingers should get into the channels as soon as the team gains possession (quick, sharp movements wide).
– They shouldn’t fill the same channel. Depending on the situation, either the winger drives in and the full back goes wide (and possibly overlaps) or the winger pulls wide and the full back steps in to be able to play a ball down the channel to the winger.
– Communication and awareness from both the full back and winger.
– Central players look to play within the attacking princes, play forward early and if not, play into the channels. Look at which option and which channel has the most space and potential for attack.
