The Session
In an area, roughly the dimensions of a penalty area, 5 members of the blue team, trying to score, face 7 players in white whose role is simply to try and retain possession playing through the zones.
When playing from the first zone into the central area one member of the team in white is allowed to follow the pass into the middle – but is not permitted to progress any farther. The whites target is to play through the zones going forward, and then returning back to the starting point. The blue team must attempt to win possession, and if they do they can score in either of the goals guarded by a goalkeeper.
