- Age U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 10-15 players, 16-22+ players
Setup
Pitch: Starting from the halfway line, a round exclusion zone with a diameter of 30 metres is marked out. On the halfway line, inside the exclusion zone, there are two mini goals; at the other end there is a goal.
Equipment: 1 goal, 2 mini goals, cones and several balls.
Players: Seven attackers, six defenders and one goalkeeper.
Procedure
- No player may run through the exclusion zone, and the attacking team may not play through it either.
- The attacking team tries to score a goal.
- The defending team tries to prevent this by shifting across.
- After winning the ball, the defenders try to play the ball into one of the mini goals.
- The drill starts alternately from the left and from the right side.
Variations: Play through both versions — the centre-back pushes through to double up, or the centre-back holds the centre.
Tip
- The ball-side centre-back does not operate in the half-space.
- If the ball is with the opposing full-back, the ball-side centre-back provides overlapping cover.
- Shift across compactly towards the ball.
