2v2, Three Zones
2v2, Three Zones
Set Up:
Ten players are set up on a field split into three zones, playing 2v2 in the central zone, with two neutral attackers stationed on each end line. In order to score, the attacking team must pass the ball from the center zone to a neutral player before they can shoot on goal. Neutrals get one touch. Players can enter the end zone at any time, but they cannot shoot until the pass is made. The attackers can also use the neutrals on their own goal line to relieve pressure and maintain possession. When a goal is scored or the ball is put out of play, the GK re-starts play in the center zone. After five minutes, the neutrals switch into the center zone.
Coaching Points:
1. Get sideways on to the defender.
2. Use your arm and upper body as you shield.
3. Shield the ball during takeovers.
Progressions:
1. Add a defender in both end zones.
