In and Out of Possession

In possessions principles should be referenced within the start of the practice, as should the teams out of possession principles for the defending team. Focus on the timing of players’ movements to ensure they stay onside and are able to finish in one touch. Asking players to make different types of runs such as a blindside run, or a run across the front of their opponent and the individual detail around those runs Blindside runs need additional depth to explode into the space in behind, whilst the across face run requires lateral space to exploit Accuracy and weight of pass, also looking at straight passes for angled runs and angles passes for straight runs Counter press for the attacking team to try and keep the ball in the end scoring zone if the ball is given away
