Scoring

How the result works

Hold support shape. No contact. 20 x 12 m circuit.

Example: Carry through a cone circuit while four players keep front, left, right, and deep support options around the ball.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Starting the next support attempt before the field and retrieval lane are clear.

Safety: One group enters the circuit at a time unless separate lanes are marked. Inspect the surface, separate running lanes, keep the run-off area clear, and use a pace the whole group can control. No diving, blocking, grabbing, pushing, or chasing a loose ball into another lane.
