Setup & instructions

With the opponent on one side, the team slides across to overload the ball side and press. Leave the far-side player, whose only pass is a long risky switch, and win the ball on the strong side. Emphasise sliding as a unit, staying compact, and pressing where the numbers are. If they switch, slide across again to press the far side. Rotate the roles.

Setup time: 1 min
