Organization

GK restarts long toward a target forward. Two supporting attackers and two midfielders position around the expected landing zone against defenders. A successful first contact or loose ball triggers immediate forward play.

Coaching Points

Target player attacks the first contact | Nearest players squeeze around the landing zone | Read the flight early | Secure the second ball before forcing the attack | Play forward quickly once control is established

Progressions

  • Make the second-ball phase fully live to goal or mini-goals.

Regressions

  • Use passive opposition on the first contact and mark the landing zone.
