Quick transitioning drills: two zone game

Drill Description

• Field back to normal width, divided into two zones of unequal lengths, which are marked with cones.
• Two teams of six, distributed as follows: 5 versus 5 in large zone in front of Goal 1, 1 versus 1 in the other zone.
• 6 versus 6 on two goals with goalkeepers. Players may not leave their assigned zones, with one exception: If Team A (defending Goal 1) wins the ball and successfully passes it to its forward in the small zone, they may send one additional player over the line to create a 2 versus 1.

Coaching Tips

• 4 versus 4 and 2 versus 2
• Whenever Team A sends an attacker across the line, Team B can send an extra defender to even the odds.
• All players must stay in their assigned zones at all times.
