Cones are used to create a square. Mark out a neutral zone in the middle of the square which splits the area into two zones. 6 red and 6 blue players take part in this small sided soccer game.
They play a 3v3 game in zone 'A' and in zone 'B'. Red is the possessor team in zone 'A' and the blue team is in Zone 'B'.
The neutral zone increases the distance between the 2 teams so it forces the players to perform accurate, low passes after intercepting the ball.
The long ball coming across the neutral zone can't be intercepted, the defenders can become active after the possessor player receives it.
