Clearance Line Step — Push Out Together for the Second Ball

Use a full-size goal and penalty area with defenders, attackers and one server. The attack delivers into the box. After the defending team clears, the coach or an outside player serves a second ball toward the edge. The back line must push out together and compete for it.

First clearance goes away from central danger | Step out as the ball leaves the box | Keep the line connected while moving forward | Midfielders attack the second ball | Drop again if the second service is played behind

• Allow the attacking team to recycle the clearance immediately rather than using a coach-fed second ball.

• Use predictable clearance direction and pause briefly before the second service.
