1) The game starts with a pass out from the keeper to a defender who plays it wide into the midfield.

 

2) The blue defending midfielder moves towards the ball to close down the player.

 

3) Alone in a 2v1 in the middle zone, the defensive midfielder works hard to cut the supply chain by forcing his opponent back.

 

4) The defensive midfielder then makes a great block to put the ball out of play.

 

Set Up:

An area of 30x15 yds plit into three 10 yard zones. You will need balls, cones and two goals with keepers.

 

How to Play:

Split players into two teams of six including keepers. One team is playing 2-2-1 and the other is playing 2-1-2. Players are in zones as in the diagram and must stay in their zones. PLay starts with a pass out from the goalkeeper to one set of defenders, and the ball must be received in each zone to make it count as an attack. The set up should be 2v2, 2v1 and 2v1. PLayers in the middle zone must try to protect their back two.
