Any time that ball goes out of play, play restarts from server

Coaching Points/Questions:

-Optimum time to win ball is right after losing the ball. Look to close down quickly. 1st defender- Look to cut off play and force it away from penetration. Look to force team in possession in the direction you look to play.

- 2nd defender look to now limit the space and dont allow penetration, 3rd defender looks to set the "net" and

-if attacking team able to play out of the "Net" look to re-frame and establish shape before looking to set the net again and press to win the ball.

Counter Topic

Team in possession- Look to shift and give angles/support to be able to "find the next one" to be able to play out of the oppositions press.

Regressions/Progressions:

-Add another defender
