EXPLANATION

Activity starts as shown – 7/11 must stay in their wide channels – 2/3 join on trigger (ball played out of zone or 3 passes)

2 of 3 center mids must stay in center middle third zone

PROGRESSION

2/3 start inside field, enter middle third #1 on 3rd pass; #2 immediately

Only one of 3 center mids must stay home track back to defend on loss of possession – work 1/2’s with center mids and forwards

Forwards – look for counter movements – drive opponents back to create space to ball checking in – look for 2v1s with wing backs
