Set-up

7v7 on a wide field with two wing zones that only wingers can enter. Encourages teams to use width in attack. Kochel and Lausch are natural fits for wing zones — let them feel the freedom.

Coaching points

  • Stretch the defence wide before going through them
  • When a winger has it in the zone, two players must attack the box
  • Gavin Kochel: the quality is there — use it for the team, not the highlight

Progressions

  • Remove the exclusive wing zone — players can now enter freely, forcing more decision-making
  • Add a three-touch rule in central areas to push play wide
