5-on-4 Scramble

Setup

Five attackers around the arc, four defenders.

Steps

1. 1Offence keeps great spacing and moves the ball.
2. 2Find the defender who's guarding two — attack the gap.
3. 3Defenders talk, help, and recover hard.
4. 4Reset and swap the odd defender each rep.

Coaching points

• Space the floor — big gaps.
• One extra pass beats one extra dribble.
• Defence: sprint to close out.

Why kids love it

Great for teaching both spacing on offence and scramble defence at once.
