7 vs. 7 in a Marked Playing Field

- The team in possession must be positioned so that all sides of the field and the centre are occupied. - Triangles must constantly be formed to provide passing options. - The passing game alternates between many short passes and occasional long passes to shift the zones of play. - Both teams should be in constant motion. Players continuously try to make themselves available as passing options for their teammates. - The team without possession tries to cleverly block passing lanes and spaces and appliesnpermanent pressure on the player with the ball and his nearby teammates. - Getting trapped in a tight space should be avoided. Therefore, all sides must be occupied so that a wide or deep pass is always possible. - The wide players should adopt an open body position (sideline behind them) so they can always see the next passing option. - This game form requires an enormous amount of running and tactical understanding and is characterised bynconstant communication. - 4 cones
