Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Zonal Marking

Set Piece 1 (30 mins)

Organisation:

Starting from GK; GK protects top of 6 yard box and front post.

Back post defender protects any through balls from corner and ultimately stops goals coming from back post areas.

Three players protecting 6 yard box; one protects front post zone area, 1 protects middle of goal zone area and the last protects back post zoned area.

The two players in front of the 3 zoned goal markers; both of those players block off runners trying to attack the ball from the corner.

Penalty spot man; clears danger and looking to transition with the 3 players at the top. 

Three players are a the top of the pitch just inside own half waiting a ball to be cleared and then transition to attack at goal and the idea is the defending team leaves 4 back for that transition to occur.
