Blue wash: Defending half · Gold box: First forward connection after the regain · Gold rings: key roles
Blue plays toward the top goal. The shaded area identifies the phase; supporting roles may sit outside it. All 22 players retain their 4-3-3 positions.
Starting picture · Blue: Northbridge · Sand: opposition · Gold rings: focus players · White dot: ball
A starting picture for the practice, with the focus players highlighted. Both teams keep their 4-3-3 roles; movement and decisions develop through live play.
Organization
22 players, two 4-3-3 teams, a full-size pitch and two goals. Begin with the opposition building through midfield; the defending pivot can intercept a pass into its striker.
Practice task
On the regain, 6 reads the direct pass to 9 and the connection through 8. Continue into an unrestricted attack; retain possession if both routes close.
What to observe
The first action uses the available forward lane rather than a predetermined pass.
Progression
Allow the opposition interior to recover closer to 6, changing whether the direct pass or a supporting layoff is available.
