10 vs 10 + goalkeepers in three zones - Level 1

Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
Training Set Main point

Setup

A field with 3 zones is marked out with cones. A goal is set up on each end of the field, with a goalkeeper in each. 2 teams of 10 players are formed. In the two zones in front of the goals, teams have free play; in the middle zone, touches are limited to one. The balls are distributed between the goals.

Procedure

The 10-player teams play against each other with the objective of scoring goals. Due to the zones and their touch restrictions, players are motivated to quickly bridge the 1-touch middle zone with long balls or with only a few passes.

Tip

- The focus of this game format is on fast play with long balls into the attacking third. - The teams should be in constant motion. Players constantly try to make themselves available as passing options for their teammates. - The team without possession tries to cleverly close down passing lanes and spaces, constantly pressuring the player on the ball and those around him. - This game format requires an enormous amount of running and tactical understanding, characterised by constant communication. It also develops long-range passing and fast counterattacks. - Players must repeatedly break free from their markers and move into the end zone. - 8 cones, 2 full-size goal(s)
