One two three, one, two three one. One two three, one, two three. So from the beginning call your number eight. One two three one two three, right? Okay. We're going to play a game tag rugby normals at a Grobe not going to worry too much about the bonus points. Just tag rugby when I call one out. All the Defenders would number one have to go down on one knee until I tell you to come back in the game. So let's try that with red, too. I would rats with red with red. Okay back in. Red straight good back in yellow, too. back in yellow one back in yellow one two Okay, good. When you're the defending team, you must drop down on one knee there's boy. That's a lot. That's a lot. Okay, I'll give it a try that okay the ball. Going to play from here. We're going to play some heads. The reds are what your back just looking looking looking yellow bull three this alertness alertness alert. Back in back in back in let's keep playing keep playing go go go go go go go. Try are free now. Okay back to me, too. back in Okay, good taking the bull. One to take a pee break way back in back in. Okay. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Come here. When I call a number as an attacker, what should you be looking for? For gaps and where are those gaps? The sun doesn't come down. Why is there any other gaps? Come on, Annabelle. Is it just where the Defenders are gone down or there are other spaces and where are they? Think about it. They were all stirred up where with the spaces be the side in between great in front of the X and mother not about so we don't just look at the ones that need and then we look at those other spaces. Okay, go on Debbie. There's two numbers next to each other who are the same and you called that number near being done. So you find yeah, absolutely, right? So you've got to look at where those weaknesses are how quickly do you have to look and how quickly do you have to really run into those spaces? What difference would it make on? Why tell me why? Right. Okay. So we do we speed up when I call a number or do we slow down your speed up? But what do you have to look for still after work for the spaces? You have to look the spaces and then hit them really speed up. Okay. So what this does is it creates some more space for you? So I want you to be really really aware of that. I also want you to think about how you defend. Would you for example now put two of the same numbers together in defense? Where would you put them where you put on the outside or in the middle, right? So what do you think? In the middle, you think you're putting the middle why? All right, if it's on that side, but to get the ball on the outside, what would you have to do? pass if the team of passing what might happen going on. Because you told to get back up what else might happen does it is every past Court. No, so if they have to pass a wide, they might make a mistake. So you may want to think well, actually we might have a number one out on that wing and a number three out of that way rather than both reason the middle of both revote. Why so you might need to think about a even defend as well. All right. Go back in the game with another go hey to Therefore let's go for a buck in Buckhead. So let's look. Okay. Try that good. My boy. My boy my boy. Get a bull and one. back in to Back in Troy they are good try. Well Duncan that it's tough one. back in where is the space? Good. Try that good stuff. Okay, let's keep playing. One two three once back in twos back in. Oh, I see what great support if it's getting the Balkans can the ball. Well, he's supporting that if you had just come back here just braided it on by you the time then run on to the past that what I tell you what I'll give you a million pound because that would be the best bit of player. I've seen ever so nearly got there to well done for support. two pound pound Pound There that's what one wears this pay to back in place a space. Good. Good. Good. Good. Well done.
