Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 3 Zone game defensive behaviour

3 Zone game with focus on defensive positioning (20 mins)

1vs1 in each Zone

Player can score on goal in their field or score by passing the ball through the goal on next field

Defensive Topics:

1v1 defending

defend your goal if you are on next field (goal represents passing gaps in a game)

antizipate when the ball is played to the opponent in your zone and close down player quickly to pressure

ie: if player A choses to pass to player B, Player C should immidiately close down space and press player B; player D drops into space to defend passing lane (cone goal)

For more players and constant movement players can be added behind the gates and immidiately attack, team that scores will move behind the gate.

Example: if player B receives the ball and player E doesnt cover the passing lane quick enough and F receives the pass than the yellow group will attack, Blue will defend and red will go behind the gates where the yellow team was (2)
