Playing with Depth

Enhance players' ability to build up play with depth, break defensive lines, and transition effectively through different zones of the pitch.

• The coach starts the play by passing the ball into the Blue team. • The Blue team aims to progress the ball by either: ◦ Dribbling around the outside of the poles to break pressure, or ◦ Passing through the poles to split the defensive line. • The pitch is divided into two key zones: ◦ Zone 1 (Midfield Build-Up) – This is where the initial play begins, and the Blue team must maintain possession. ◦ Zone 2 (Attacking Phase) – Once the ball enters this zone, three players from each team can move in to support. • If the Red team (defenders) win possession, they immediately attempt to score in the mini-goals.
