5v5, Add One
Set Up:
12 players are set up on a field split into three zones, starting 2v2 in the defending zone, 1v1 in the central zone, and 2v2 in the attacking zone. During play, the attacking team must pass the ball from one zone into the next in order to advance to goal. When the ball is passed into the next zone, an attacker crosses over, creating a 2v1 in the central zone and a 3v2 in the attacking zone. The ball must be played inside of the attacking zone in order to shoot. On goals and balls put out of play, the game is re-started by the Feeder.
Coaching Points:
1. Hold the run and/or check away from the ball to create enough space to receive.
2. Support each pass immediately, and create 2v1 combinations.
3. With a defender on your back, take your first touch away from pressure.
Progressions:
1. Allow shots from the central zone.
