EXPLANATION

Field organized as shown – 3 zones with 3v2 in each defending zone, 1v1 in central zone – wing backs are allowed to move up and back but only on playing ball through central player

PROGRESSION

Limit touch count
If mid goes forward, back must cover

COACHING POINTS

Look for teams to maintain shape with outside backs moving up/down line – look for goal side positions to delay, force play backward
Central defender must be prepared to delay if ball is played through while outside backs are forward
