The vertical channels will be used in reference both in possession and out of possession so players know where they need to defend out of possession and exploit in possession.
Outside channels - Sideline to edge of the 18 yard box
Half spaces (Between Centre backs and fullbacks) - Edge of goalpost to edge of 18 yard box
Central channel - Between the goal posts

In Possession:
Zone 1 - Building out from our GK
Zone 2 - Link from defenders to Midfield
Zone 3 - Link from Midfield to forwards
Zone 4 - Final 1/3 combining to finish
Out of possession:
Zone 4 - Defending from the front (forwards pressing opposing GK and looking to win ball/force mistake)
Zone 3 - If opposition play through Zone 4 Midfield look to block forward passing lanes force backward passes)
Zone 2 - Organization now required from back line and heavy emphasis on condensing spaces between forwards and midfield, midfield to Defense.
Zone 1 - If opposition play into this area, we need max effort to regain the ball/clear danger.
