To make the analogy to a soccer match, each team is a specialized "player" and they should stay in their respective zones and do their specialized jobs for the benefit of the alliance. The "defender" should block the goals while moving balls (launching?) forward. The "midfielder" should keep balls that are re-entering play from moving into opponent zones. The "striker" should be able to solely focus on scoring because balls are constantly moving into his zone, if his alliance does its job. Team coordination is paramount.

Also, keep in mind that if you do leave your zone, it is open to your opponents. I seriously forsee virtual 1-v-1 matches in each zone.
