    • Diagonal off the shoulder
    • Straight in front to lay off
    • Finish at back post
  • If the opportunity to progress without the pivot is there, look to take it
    • Positioning of pivot might cause disruption - we can penetrate through paired movements
  • How else can the pivot support to progress?
    • Blocks/Screens on a isolation
    • Bounce pass between lines
    • Create depth

Game: 4v4 (Pivot/Fixo locked in end zone)

CP:
  • Pivot should look to position on the blind side of the fixo, offering variety of passing options
  • Pivot can offer wide option (3 in a line) from the centre, or a vertical option in the wide channel to progress the ball
  • Cues for Pivot to get in front of the Fixo:
    • If there is a BLOCK on the wide channel
    • If a Flank runs inside to get a pass from the Fixo


Progression: Remove the end zone and free gameAllow the Pivot to drop between lines/run 3rd man blocks or rotate with Flankers
