Indoor 6v6 (From 1-2-2) Scenario to advance ball from outside back. Back should have option to make three passes (both fwds and sweeper) with players making 'two pass runs'.
Practice with ball played to back from a sweeper goal kick (options could be where coach plays from a different position... with options of how he plays it (bouncing ball, goal kick, etc))
Simplified coaching point. We're going to rotate through every position BECAUSE these movements ARE NOT POSITION SPECIFIC. (** Example would be monkey-in-the-middle reference, whereas a players motion is dictated by where the ball is played, and a player who is "two passes away" is still sprinting into position. HOPEFULLY, they've already visualized this "where do I move if the ball is played "there", "here", etc)
Each player moves correctly without the ball. (options dictate short to go long and/or long to go short, hard check to the ball)
LB also looks to either quickly find the first pass, or engage the first defender looking for gNg.
** If first quick pass is played. VERY important back also gives the support pass right away. Too often we pass and do nothing... it kills the play.
** Key point for FWDs. Think of how to create a 2 on 1 against a defender to attack his space. dont' think of yourself as left an right fwd, but as two players who work together to beat the first defender.

Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider. Here is how the modern set-piece specialists design attacking corners, free kicks, and throw-ins - and how you can apply their ideas at any level.
The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
