Corrective Positioning & Tactical Adjustments (10 mins)

5-10mins - Corrective Positioning & Tactical Adjustments

* 5 & 6 opening, 2 & 3 advancing and 4 dropping in.

- Reds can apply passive pressure once the first blue player touches the ball

- Once ball is played in to 9/4 the Reds can actively attack

Progression

- Reds can close down play and tackle as soon as ball is played

Coaching Points

- This gives the GK 3 simple options to get the attack started without pressure

- Look to play in a way that gets the Blues to start advancing
