5v5 Three-Band Transfer — Use Every Band Before Switch

A possession game that rewards vertical occupation without forcing direct play. The team must involve a player in each of three bands before it can complete a scoring transfer to the far side.

Circulate through all three horizontal bands before transferring possession to the opposite target side.

Organization

Divide a 34x24m rectangle into three horizontal bands and play 5v5. Teams score by receiving in all three bands during one possession and then playing into a target gate at the opposite end.

Coaching Points

Keep at least one option in each band | Do not rush the far target before the middle band is used | Move after connecting a band | Receive side-on when linking forward | Reset through the back band if the middle is closed

Progressions

  • Limit the middle band to two touches.

Regressions

  • Require only two of the three bands before the target transfer.
