COACH'S BENCH
3 Zone Game
The aim of this is for the players to start to recognize the overload shapes in a more match orientated format.
Their aim is to keep possession and play through the zone to get a shot on goal when the time is right. The outside players are wingers/fullbacks and can help in any zone without going outside.
The number of players can be adapted. Teams can be evenly matched, neutral players (in middle as well as outside) or as shown where one team has a numerical advantage.
Players can be restricted to 1, 2, 3 or unlimited touches to increase the speed of play.
