Set Up:
There are 14 players set up on a field split into three zones, playing 5v5 in the central zone with one player in each of the two defensive zones. Play begins in the defensive zone, with the attacker playing the ball into the middle zone. Players are not allowed to leave the central zone until the ball is played in. From there, two attackers and one defender can make runs into the attacking zone, creating a 2v2. Play continues to completion. On goals and balls put out of play, the game is re-started by the GKs.
Coaching Points:
1. Check away from the ball in the central zone so that you have room to receive and turn.
2. With a defender on your back, take your first touch away from pressure.
3. Play one and two touch soccer in the congested central zone.
Progressions:
1. Play 1v1 in the attacking zone.
