5v5 in safe zone

CoachTruly

Description: "Safe zones" are marked in the playing area, where the opponent is not allowed to enter. Players practice staying calm and controlling the game in their own defensive area, as well as opening the play. The number of players in their own "safe zone" is not limited, but the aim is to also use the goalkeeper to help with build-up play. Goal scoring also happens from outside the "safe zone", meaning players practice creating spaces for shooting.
Coaching key points: Ball possession in own safe zone Building up play and seeking passing options
Progression: How do I create passing options? How do I move the opposition?
