3. Part (single skill) - decision making - Attack The Space

How to play

• Grid of 30m x 20m

• Groups of five

• Three attackers against two defenders

This is a similar drill to Move It Wide, but this time the ball carrier must run around cone D and one of the defenders could be asked to run around cone C as a way of progressing the practice. Two defenders and three attackers (one of whom has the ball) stand on the middle of line A-B. When the coach calls “GO!” the attackers run around cone B (but the ball carrier must run around cone D) and try to score on line A-E. The defenders run around cone A (but one could run around cone C) and try to prevent the attackers scoring by
tackling them. Coaches should encourage attackers to draw defenders wide and look to produce gaps in the middle of the grid.
Attackers will need to move around and pass
quickly. To increase pressure on either side,
the coach can stagger the start of the
attackers or defenders.
