- Level:
- Intermediate
- Duration:
- 20 min
- Recommended age:
- ["senior"]
Description
Objective: - Immediate reaction after loss. Conditioning rule: - In zone 1, where the support players are, tackling is not allowed. - The player outside zone 2 does not participate until their team regains possession, acting as a support outlet. Notes: - Initial setup: 2 players from the possession team in zone 1, the rest in zone 2, minus one player from the defending team positioned behind zone 2. - Possession team objective: Maintain possession as long as possible using jokers; if possession is lost, regain it immediately and prevent the opposing team from reaching zone 1 with the ball under control. - Defending team objective: Win the ball and carry it under control into zone 1. - If the player outside zone 2 receives the ball, the players performing the counter-press must immediately close down space and block passing lanes to potential targets. - Overlaps are allowed in zone 1.
