Addition players can be added depending on squad numbers. Full backs, wide midfield players can also be added as the practice develops to make it more game realistic as the practice goes on.

All players in phase 1 must stay in their respective zones. The attacking players are looking to transfer the ball through the zones to their 2 forward players, once the ball has travelled through the 1st zone one of the defenders in this zone may recover and make it a 3v2 game.

Regressions/Progressions:

Progression 1 – 1 attacker may also move into the next zone

Progression 2 – All defenders and attackers may move into the next zone.

Regression – Forward player receiving the ball has to take a minimum number of touches EG 4 touches (This is crucial in giving the recovering player’s time to create the double team scenario with the central defender).
