  • Reward: We maintain possession in transition and help start our attack

  • Reward: We have the chance to create a counter-attack but if backward is available we have slowed down the press on the next player
Off-Ball CAR
  • Cue: We see our teammate win the ball with space to play forwards on either side
  • Action: Act quickly and with urgency to go forward, and communicate loudly and repetitively to ensure they are aware of you
  • Reward: We have the opportunity to break the first line of defense and create a counter-attack
