Long - Zonal/Hybrid

Set Up

10 players back (GK plus 9).

Player 1 is 2 or 3 yards in front of the front post. Deal with short, flat or under hit corners.

Players 2/3/4 start 1 yard in from the goal line & are responsible for the shaded areas in front of them. Attack the ball!

Players M are markers and deal with obvious opposition threat from tall players/groups of players (“bus queues” & “blobs”). 

Player 5 patrols the top of the 18 yard box for half clearances or pull backs. 

Player 6 waits in the area shown for clearances/passes out from defence (same side as the corner is taken). 

General Rule! IF THE GK CALLS CONFIDENTLY FOR A BALL IN THE 6 YARD BOX THE DEFENDERS SHOULD ALLOW THE GK TO MAKE THE CATCH/PUNCH.
