Aim is to have the attacking players make a decision as to the most effective entry under pressure. 1. Coach kicks ball to green players on the wing. 2. Red defenders provide token pressure (increase in intensity after repeated executions) 3. Forwards lead in the patterns we want: Pocket pushes back then darts back to behind the FF FF leads up to provide target FP pushes to get to the feet in case of spill/misdirected kick
1. Attackers need to make the right decision for the hit up lead. FF is priority, FP is secondary 2. Pressure required to force lowering eyes and pick targets, avoiding "bombing in". 3. Add defenders (2 on 3) to add complexity for forward leading
