3 zone, 6v3 Keep Away
3 zone, 6v3 Keep Away
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.
