⚽ Here's a memorization drill idea that allows you to work on maximizing space utilization.

This drill, taken from the Tactical Menstrual Course Introductory Guide, aims to develop players' ability to expand and fully utilize the playing area during possession phases.

🔹 Drill Objectives

▪️Enhance the use of width and depth of the field.

▪️Improve players' ability to mobilize and find external support.

▪️Encourage continuous movement and communication.

▪️Develop ball speed and team intelligence.

🔹Organization

▪️Number of Players: 3 teams of 4 (12 players).

▪️Playing Area: A 25m x 25m square.

▪️Non-Attackable Zones: 4 outer zones, one on each side of the field.

▪️Support: One player per zone, free in their zone.

🔹 Continuous

4 vs. 4 (e.g.) in the center of the field.

Either 8 to 4.

Each team that touches two supports of the same color (e.g., yellow) in the same save phase scores one point.

Each team that touches all four supports in the same save phase scores three points.

🔹Possible Instructions

▪️Players must be constantly moving.

▪️A maximum of two or three touches of the ball are allowed.

▪️Playing the same support twice consecutively is prohibited → this requires you to change directions and expand the game.

🔹Duration

12 minutes, with players changing every two minutes to balance the turns and requests.
