5v5 Corner-Zone Decision Game

5 BLUE vs 5 RED. Each team attacks two opponent corner zones (upper-left, upper-right, lower-left, lower-right; each ~4x4m). Teams circulate possession and try to: 1) stretch opponent horizontally, 2) attract defenders toward one side, 3) create space in opposite corner, 4) recognise when to switch play, 5) penetrate through pass or dribble, 6) support the player entering the zone. Players cannot simply stand permanently inside a scoring corner. Movement into the target zone should be timed. After turnover: direction changes immediately. Scoring: 1 point for controlled dribble into opponent corner zone OR receiving a controlled pass inside opponent corner zone. BONUS: 2 points if the team first attracts pressure toward one side and then attacks the opposite corner zone. No point for simply kicking the ball into a zone.

Stretch the defensive block horizontally before penetrating — width forces defenders to commit to one side. Attract pressure toward one corner, then recognise and attack the free opposite corner before the block shifts. Time your movement into the scoring zone — arrive as the ball arrives, don't stand inside the corner waiting. Scan the opposite side before receiving so the switch decision is already made. Penetrate through a controlled dribble or a firm pass — never kick the ball into a zone and hope.
