2 teams, 1 player in each zone, and 1 player from each team playing deep in the finishing zone. Ball starts from coach, passing the ball to one team that will try to find a way to break the line with a pass to reach the deep player, while the other team defends, active in the pressure-cover actions. Players cannot go into another playerâs zone. Pass to deep player = x1pt. Intcp+pass to deep player = x2pts. Notes: Modify # of zones according to # of players Add scoring opportunity for deep player. Goal = x1pt. Defenders can defend to prevent goal from happening.
