Screen 1

Attacking Team: 1-3-5-2 (Take away the GK and 3 CBs... ***Have GK be the ball feeder)
*****
2-3-2

Problem/Management:
- Attack wide areas (*** Have their WB starting high and checking hard to the ball)

Defending Team: 1-4-3-3 (Take front 3 away)
***** 1-4-2-1


Solution/Coach:
Prevent them from getting into the final 3rd ***
(Success for them looks like having the ball below our D)

How we prevent them?

- GK starts between 6 and PK
- Back 4, set your line at the D
- Two 6's, stay between 6-8 Yards away from our D/back line

What if? 

-They play wide: 

Tactical solution = Pressure, Cover, Balance 

-
LB, applies pressure on the ball.
-LCB, shift over and cover him
-RCB/RB, Balance us
-Ball side 6, shift over and support the pressure (You don't have to pressure just support our LB in case he gets beat on the inside).
-Weak side 6, will then cover you
-10, shit over on top of our 2 6's and keep our triangle. 

Technical Solution:

-LB, your angle of approach should force them back or inside to your ball - side 6 for help. *** Do not get beat down the line. (If he does, coach how or why it happened).
-LCB, as you're shifting over, make sure you can see the ball and their 9, maybe even have your hands out in case he tries running in behind/wide channel.
-RCB & RB, make sure you're not on the same line as your LCB.

Problem 2


Attacking Team:
 


Problem/Management:

- Attack the middle of the field (*** Have their 9s, and 10 dropping into pockets when 6s are on the ball)


Solution/Coach:

Depending on how deep their 9, or 10 are dropping, pass them on ***

(Success for them looks like having the ball below our D)



How we prevent them from getting into the final 3rd?

- GK starts between 6 and PK

- Back 4, set your line at the D

- Two 6's, stay between 6-8 Yards away from our D/back line



What if?

-Their 9 drops on the outside shoulder of our ball - side 6 and receive:

Tactical solution = Pressure, Cover, Balance, but get compact when the ball is played

-LCB, pass him on to our ball - side 6 (If our ball - side 6 is too late/gets beat, and they are driving at us, Look to step before they get to the top of our D)

-Weak - side 6, shift over and cover our ball - side 6.

-Everyone else, shift to the left side 

What if their 10 drops?

-We would have our 10 be the press
-Our 6s will cover him
- Back line pushes up a bit
