Organization:
Set up as above - narrower channels (8 yards) so that receiving to turn on back foot is harder to accomplish. Tight space means that pass may have to go to middle player with pressure on their back.
Instructions:
Play begins with Player A on ball taking a touch out of his feet to one side or another.
Player B checks away and comes back to receive the ball. He has two touches, one to spin the defender and one to find the target player.
Defender C stays tight as the passive defender.
Player B finds D.
Player D dribbles back at speed.
A becomes defender, B becomes targetman, C becomes attacker, D becomes original passer.
Progression: Player D beats Player C with scissor/feint etc on way back.
Coaching Points:
- Checking in a straight line v. checking at an angle (angle opens up option for pass to D)
