3 Zone Game Possession (15 mins)

3 Zone Game: Creating & exploiting space in between the lines

SET-UP: 20-25 yards wide and 30-35 yards long (6-8 yard central zone).

# of Players: 9v9. 3 defenders - 3 midfielders - 3 forwards vs. 3 Def - 3 Mid - 3 Fwd

Objective: Black looks to build the game from the back and through the midfield to play forward into the players on the opposite end. Ball must be played through the opposite side from the middle zone.

If ball is won by the defensive team they can score on counter goals for 1 pt.

Rules:

Attacking players can move anywhere. Defending players have to be set in a 3-3-3 (3 defenders in each zone). If attacking team loses possession, they have 3 seconds where they can win it back, if not they then get back into their defensive shape.

Progression:

Can play forward from build out third provided it is off of a combination with a player in middle third.

Scoring: Att team 1 pt if build through the thirds; & repeat once you get on the other side.

Coaching Points:

Idea is to play in and behind defenders in middle third or overload them with striker dropping in and fullbacks getting higher into middle zone

Focus on movement off the bal (timing, speed & disguise), receiving on the half turn to play forward, disguie & vertical passing.
