Screen 1

Description

The exercise begins with the Skye  team possessing the ball with the task to develop an attacking action to shoot on goal. The development of the action has to involve in turns all wide defenders who cross with the strikers attacking the goal to shoot. As soon as they cross the coach (in green in the figure) introduces a new ball by giving it to one of the white players. The 3 defenders (numbers 3,4 and 5 in the figure) commence a negative transition by withdrawing to the recovery line (the yellow line in the figure) with the central midfielder (number 6 in the figure) having sufficient time to regain his position in front of the defensive line.  After reaching the recovery line, the defenders have to leave it when the opponents are about 10 meters away. The central midfielder has to insert themselves in the defensive line. The side defender (number 2) after crossing, has to return quickly to his defensive position.
