Beat the Press | 22-P10

This practice focuses on phase 1 and develops teams ability to beat the press and play through the thirds. We begin in the 1st zone with a 5 v 5 +1, with the objective for the team in possession to play into the central zone where they have a 2 v 2 + 1 advantage. Once they penetrate, attackers must make runs in behind to receive and finish in either mini goal. Creating good passing angles, using line breaking passes and off the ball movement into space are key coaching points in this practice! 💪⚽️

All,

Looking to see if a filter can be added (unless I missed it) where you can choose the size of space you are working with for sessions?
