Teloframe OfficialReviewed by Teloframe

Press the Back-Pass

Recognise the back-pass as the trigger to press. Spring the instant the ball travels backwards, close the receiver on his weak side, and win it high.

Setup & instructions

Two reds keep possession in a 30x20 grid, one blue presses. Reds pass among themselves; the blue holds a mid position until a red plays a BACK-pass, then sprints to press the receiver, curving the run to block the forward option and forcing a rushed ball to win. Rotate the presser regularly, it is a hard sprint.

Setup time: 1 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Read the trigger: the ball going backwards is the cue
  • Spring the instant it leaves the passer's foot, don't wait
  • Curve the run to block the forward pass (cover shadow)
  • Close the last few yards under control, don't dive in
  • Win it high and keep it: a turnover in their half is gold

Common mistakes

  • Pressing on the sideways pass instead of waiting for the back-pass
  • Arriving flat, letting the receiver play forward past the press
  • Diving in and getting spun
  • Switching off after the trigger instead of sprinting

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Add a second presser and a second red to press as a pair
  • Add a mini-goal so the win becomes a finish
  • Reds get a free man, so the press must be more selective

Regressions

  • Reds play the back-pass slowly and telegraphed to groove the timing
  • Bigger grid so the presser has more time to arrive
  • Presser starts closer to the receiver
