Hi Sudeesh,

For set plays inside the 23-meter area, you might find the "Closed Zones" drill useful. This exercise involves 4 players inside the 23-meter area trying to pass the ball through the defensive zone to players in the other half. The 6 defenders in the middle zone aim to intercept and break to score a goal against the players who lost the ball.

Additionally, the "Team Escape" drill is another option where defenders are only allowed to defend inside the 23-meter area. This drill involves attackers trying to score against defenders, and when they do, roles are reversed.

You can explore these drills further on Sportplan for more details and implementation tips.

I hope this helps,

Cam
