Building Play In A 433 | Opposed Practice (31-P2)

Organisation / Set Up
Practice 2 of Theme 31 Playing out in a 433 is played in 15 x 16 Yard area with an extra zone with 3 mini goals for our defender to pass into. With our 433 we can see those players involved in this practice, with a focus on forward passes under pressure. As the coach passes the ball into the defender who starts in the first 8-yard zone, the striker (10), begins the press from the 2nd zone.
