Objective – close control, speed, agility and reactions
GameFocus onResetProgression
- 2 start areas with 5 “pots” (small circle of markers approximately 1 yard across) in the middle
- One player from each team defends the five pots against an opponent who tries to dribble or run with the ball and stop it in a pot to score a point.
- Each team has five balls with every player having a go at attacking.
- Once a player has attacked they need to react and defend against an attacker on the opposite team.
- The previous defender returns to their team.
- Once a ball is stopped in a pot it is safe and cannot be removed.
- The defender can stop the attacker by tagging them; they do not need to tackle the player.
- Defenders are not allowed to run through or over any of the pots, giving the attacker a bit of protection.
- The middle pot is worth double points.
It will be easier to keep score if you have access to two colours or designs of ball. Or use a mixture of sizes.
- Give each pot a limit of two balls.
- You can allow players to knock a ball out and replace it with their own. The defender must now decide whether to protect pots in which their team has a ball, or go all out to stop the attacker scoring, leaving their ball unguarded.

The outer pots are worth 1 point. The centre pot is worth 2 points.

One player from each team tries to score at the same time.

Players must react quickly to defend once they have attacked.
