9v9 in Three Zones
This soccer drill emphasises advancing the outnumbering situations in game specific environment.
Organisation
Cones are used to mark a playing area with three zones within.
Put a goalkeeper into each goal.
In Zone B there are 5 players from both teams and a neutral player who always supports the attacking team. In Zone A and B there are two defenders and two attackers.
When the ball is out the coach restarts the game by passing a ball into the area.
Description and Graphics
Teams try to possess the ball in Zone B and after performing 3 passes they try to pass the ball into the attacking zone of their two attackers. After passing the ball into the attacking zone one player can follow the pass and draw an outnumbering 3v2 situation to finish the attack as soon as possible. In the middle zone neutral player supports the team in possession but he can not follow the deep passes into the attacking area. When defenders win the ball in the 3v2 situation they try to pass it back into the middle to their teammates.
