WHEN: in the defensive half when the ball carrier needs a passing option (w/ pressure or w/o)

HOW: CP’s will be used primarily in planned stoppages and followed up in the flow. If needed, freeze moments but ideally not.

2. WHAT: Players position themself in a position and angle to receive the ball and orientate themselves to play forward if possible.

WHEN: when players are receiving passes from the defensive half but aren’t shaping their body in a benefit to play forward or out of pressure.

HOW: CP’s will be used primarily in planned stoppages and followed up in the flow. If needed, freeze moments but ideally not.
