ORGANISATION
Area: 40 x30 metres
5 Blues, 5 Yellows, 5 Reds
Blue players are neutral players and play with team in possession, there are two end line
blue players that cannot be tackled and 3 Blue players play in the middle of the area
The yellow team is in possession in the diagram and position themselves with 1 in the
middle area and 2 along each side, but they play within the area.
The Red team are not in possession, they can go wherever they want within the area to
press and win the ball back
When the Red team wins possession of the ball they must quickly take up the positions as
per yellow players in the diagram, and yellows now must try and win the ball back
