Improved ability to attack and defend.
Improved ability to attack and defend.
• Movement around box is key. • Make quick decisions. • Clever runs will create space for others. • Press Aggressively, but with intent. Wait for a pass back or a loose touch. • Don’t overcommit. • Player who wins the ball is the most vulnerable. They will be pressed immediately so release the ball quickly. • Find teammate facing forward. • Speed kills. • Change of attitude to aggressive defence. • Get the ball back quickly to keep the ‘defending’ team in the zone.
