Objective:

Split the players into 2 teams. The rules are a normal match however when in the zone in the middle their is a limited touches rule. anywhere outside the zone is unlimited. There is no restriction on who can enter the zone but once in the limited touches rule applies. Set the number of touches depending on player ability level or desired outcome. This practce is for encouraging longer passing into wide areas. To start i will set a 3 touch rule in the central area.

Progression:

This can be progressed by reducing the number of touches to either encourage players to use the width and pass longer or insisting the ball needs to travel though the box by a direct switch of play or though combination play through the box to encourage players not to recieve the ball and jusgt try to dribble up one side.

Simplify:

Reduce the size of the limited touches box or increase the number of limited touches.
