Overlapping Runs in the Wide Zone

Pitch: Cones mark the playing area and the wide zone; there are two goals at the ends.

Equipment: 2 goals, cones and several balls.

Players: Two teams and goalkeepers.

• The game is played freely.
• As soon as the ball is played to a player in a wide zone, another attacker makes an overlapping run — ideally the passer.
• In this way attacking variations with overlapping runs or play through a third player are created. The defender in the wide zone becomes active in the process.
