1) Starting positions: CBs wide as 18 yard box, high on corners or dropping to play FB. FB High and wide. 2 holding to find space in between ST. CAM to create depth and space.

2)As ball is played to strong side, weak side players to slide in more centrally. CB to stop at PK spot, FB to slide over to 6 yard box.

3)Players must play with urgency to get ball to small goals. Minimal touches on ball to control, Weak side players to observe what is happening and anticipating a transition.
