3 attackers (A1, A2, and A3) line up facing a channel per player.
Defenders (D1, D2 ) prepare to cover channels 1, 2 or 3, depending on coach's instruction for how many channels they wish to be defended?
On coaches instruction attackers play into their respective channels and react to the space. Ball Carrier makes a decision to scan for effective space left by the defence or pass to a support attack player in space. (Refer to diagram)
Coach to change/vary the defence according to where they wish channel space to be left.
If all 3 defenders cover the 3 channels then evasive footwork should be used and support to react off the ball carrier
