Front attackers looking to shut down everything that comes into the space - that the attackers can't land ball in dangerous spaces (like circle edge). They need to learn not to go for intercepts, stay on task and keep working. Defenders at back are positioning themselves to create opportunities - entice the long lifted ball Set-Up: Moving ball around the 3 outside attackers initially to get defenders to cover by shifting the box Progression: start ball at C who send to either GA or WA then tries to drive through which C/WD need to shut down to force the long ball Progression: Play through variations and see what works/doesn't work Set-up: side line throw Set-Up: centre pass (easiest from a 3-over wall)
