3 zone, 6v3 Keep Away

Players Required: 
12
Goals Required: 
0

Set Up:

In either end zone, one team plays keep away from three opposing players as the other three wait in the opposite end zone. The attacking team scores a point for making ten consecutive passes and another point for every five passes after that. When the defenders win the ball, they get a free pass over to the other end zone. Three players from each team follow the pass across to re-form the 6 v 3.

Coaching Points:

For Defenders:

  • After winning the ball, pass the ball as quickly as possible to the other grid. If this is not possible, quickly find a teammate who can play the ball long.

  • One touch in transition.

  • Quick reaction.

For Attackers:

  • After losing the ball, immediately put pressure on the ball and try to win the ball back or force a bad pass.

  • Quick reaction of players towards the ball. 

Progressions:

  • 1.  Play 6 v 2, with a one touch limit. A point is scored by making five consecutive passes.
