Organisation

Cones are used to mark four zones as shown. Sizes of the areas must be adequate to the age group.
This soccer exercise can be played by 10 to 12 players. We can change the players' defending and attacking role after some exercises.
Identify players with different colors. In the exercise we practise with four defenders. Beside the basic defending cooperation, this soccer drill can be easily adopted to several formations so it can be used as a functional small sided soccer game.
