Set Up:

There are sixteen players set up on a split field, playing 7v7. During play, the attacking team plays 3v4 in one half of the field, with four teammates stationed in the neutral zone. The players in the neutral zone are limited to one touch. When the attackers lose the ball, the four players in the neutral zone drop back into their defensive half to create the new 3v4, and the four defenders step up into the neutral zone to join the attack. On goals and balls put out of play, the game is re-started by the GK.

Coaching Points:

1.  Players in the neutral zone should look for first time finishes from back passes.

2.  Check away, and then flash into the open space for a one touch pass.

3.  Fake the shot when it closes down, and look for a better scoring opportunity.

Progressions:

1.  Play 7v7, without the neutral zone.
