This can be done through disciplined teamwork. Players must develop an intimate knowledge of the field and where their teammates will be at all times. Sprinting to the open areas of the field is fast. Forwards must be constantly on the move especially when their defenders gain control of the ball and the attack is initiated. The fastest speed on the field is the passing speed.
Nothing is faster than a well driven ball into a designated zone.
The ball will get down the field faster through four or five well executed passes than by a player attempting to dribble. The pass is the foundation of the zone offense. Without disciplined efforts to practice and perfect driving and passing techniques the zone will not work. It also requires a total team effort especially in the art of communication. Each player must sacrifice their own personal ambitions for the team.
