5v5v5

Objective

Green & Pink teams attempt to keep the ball away from Blue team. They do this by successfully identifying a passing channel to play through and connect through the pitch. Objective is to complete as many vertical passes as possible over the gain line.

Blue team cannot retreat further back than the tolerance zone in the middle of the pitch. Must be either in the zone for further forwards, pressing to win the ball.

Should Blue team win possession of the ball, they break out to goal and attempt to score. Whichever team (Green or Pink) loses the ball, they become the defenders.

Numerical Variations

5v5v5 works perfectly in a quarter of the pitch. If numbers are slightly up or down, very the pitch width accordingly but keep the length the same.

Playing Variations

1. Add a scoring system target/punishment

2. Reduce number of defenders to make easier for attackers
