Zonal Game 4v4

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...
Laura, Hockey Coach

The goal is to stop the ball on the opponants baseline.

One team (red) has two players on the left and two on the right (not able to cross a vertical centre line).

The other team (blue) has two players forward and two players back (not able to cross the half way line).
