Blue wash: Defending half · Gold box: Protect the goal and contest the finish · Gold rings: key roles
Blue plays toward the top goal. The shaded area identifies the phase; supporting roles may sit outside it. All 22 players retain their 4-3-3 positions.
Starting picture · Blue: Northbridge · Sand: opposition · Gold rings: focus players · White dot: ball
A starting picture for the practice, with the focus players highlighted. Both teams keep their 4-3-3 roles; movement and decisions develop through live play.
Organization
22 players, two 4-3-3 teams, a full-size pitch and two goals. Begin with the opposition reaching the wide final-third channel after a counter.
Practice task
Defend the delivery, then let play continue to the cutback receiver. The nearest midfielder or defender closes the shooting line under control while 1 sets and others cover the rebound.
What to observe
The final challenge protects the shooting lane and the team remains ready for the second ball.
Progression
Vary the delivery between a cutback and a ball across goal to change who must intervene.
