Organization
Create a playing area of 40-45x30-35 meters using markers. In the middle of the short sides place two goals defended by goalkeepers. In the middle of the field place a few cones in a circle (diameter 15 meters). Divide the field in half. Place five players per team inside the field, two forwards inside the opponents' half and three defenders inside the defensive half.
Description
- The teams duel with the aim to shoot at goal
- Play with one constraint: players cannot run inside the central forbidden zone and even the ball cannot pass through it or above it
Rules
- If the ball crosses the central zone or a player goes inside of it, the team loses the ball and the game starts back from the opponent's goalkeeper
- Two forwards always stay inside the opponents' half, while other players can move inside the whole field
- Free number of ball touches
Variations
- Vary the size of the field
- Vary the number of players and add a neutral player that plays with the team that has the ball
- Limit the number of ball touches
Coaching Points

- Pay attention to body posture of players receiving the ball
- Defenders should go inside the opponents' half with the right timing
