there is a 5-6 ft buffer zone between each players zone to mantain social distancing

Instructions:

Players restricted to their zones/specific zreas

Team in the middle zone is looking to defend and intercept the ball, without allowin the team in possession to be able to penetrate and play to the opposite side

If the defending team wins the ball they look to counter and score in the goal of the team that they intercepted the ball from.

Coaching Points/Questions:

Dependent upon aims of the session

In possession:

-Ability to unbalance the defensive unit"How can we shift and unbalance the defending unit?"

-Ability to play a disguised pass

-Supporting angle

Out of Possession:

-How can you look to remain compact but still maintain in your zone?

- Look to avoid being flat, and stagger your shape

-Transition- Once you have lost the ball (if attacking team) how can you immediately block off the ability to be scored on in transition
