When: Make coaching points at planned stoppages. Look to reinforce in the flow. If CP's aren't able to paint picture you can freeze.
How: If introducing, you may need to demo and/or instruct. If it's review or you're trying to get them to recall, look to use guided questions.
Player Action 3: Adapting body shape
What: When players are able to get into an appropriate position to support, can they face their body in a direction that opens them up to the field or their options (ideally forward)

Scoring rules listed above.
Only two players can press. You can up this as needed or coach the pressing team appropriately if needed to progress or regress challenge.
Restarts: come from coach (again though, play loose lines)
Rotations (substitutions): ensure different players are "pressing"
Coaching Points
Player Action 1: Scanning
What: Off the ball players identify pressure on ball carrier and space available to provide support
When: Make coaching points at planned stoppages. Look to reinforce in the flow. If CP's aren't able to paint picture you can freeze.
How: If introducing, you may need to demo and/or instruct. If it's review or you're trying to get them to recall, look to use guided questions.
Player Action 2: Supporting
What: After recognizing pressure on the ball, players in range of support should take action to provide support to help ball carrier escape pressure
When: Make coaching points at planned stoppages. Look to reinforce in the flow. If CP's aren't able to paint picture you can freeze - shouldn't need to do this in the warm up though.
How: If introducing, you may need to demo and/or instruct. If it's review or you're trying to get them to recall, look to use guided questions.
Player Action 3: Adapting body shape
What: When players are able to get into an appropriate position to support, can they face their body in a direction that opens them up to the field or their options (away from pressure)
When: Make coaching points at planned stoppages. Look to reinforce in the flow. If CP's aren't able to paint picture you can freeze.
How: If introducing, you may need to demo and/or instruct. If it's review or you're trying to get them to recall, look to use guided questions.
