A functional practice designed to improve players awareness, passing, movement and finishing.

Key objectives

  • Look for players to spread out in possession and make the pitch as big as possible
  • Encourage players to play with their head up and check shoulder so they can find the free player and be aware of pressure from opposition
  • Angles and distance of support, can the player on the ball pass to you? 
  • End product
  • Team Defending – can the lone defender delay the attacking opposition until teammates catch up with play
  • Communication and awareness is key
