Positioning and movement to find space between the lines

Through the build-up play of a set attack without a shot on goal, your players work on positioning and movement to find open space between the opposing lines and offer solutions to the ball carrier.

Description

On a half-field, form 2 teams of 6 or 7 players (without a goalkeeper).

The objective of the game is to stop the ball behind the goal line or the halfway line by advancing through players positioned between the lines of the opposing team's defense. Each team that succeeds scores 3 points.
