- Divide into 6 defenders, 7 attackers, and 1 goalkeeper
Procedure
- None of the players may run through the restricted zone, and the attacking team (Blue) may not play the ball through it either.

Coaching Points
- Practice both variations: The center-back pushes up to double up or the center-back holds the center.
- Near-side center-backs: do not operate in the half-space.
- Ball with the opposing full-back: The near-side center-back covers overlapping.
- Shift compactly towards the ball.
