Possession, Passing, Defending, First touch
Three teams, one per zone (30×15 m divided into three 10×15 m areas). The teams in the end zones keep possession and try to pass to the other end zone. The middle team sends 2 players in to win the ball in the end zone and 1 stays in the middle to cut out passes between the areas. When the ball is won or goes out, the team that lost it moves into the middle. A point is scored when the ball is played successfully from end to end.
The end-zone players spread out well and provide passing lanes in both directions. The middle team presses as a compact unit — one presses, the others screen. Possession under pressure and quick transitions to defending.
