Setup & instructions

The pressing team holds a compact mid-block. The opponents circulate until one plays a backward pass, the trigger. On that cue the nearest player sprints to press the receiver and the whole unit steps up to squeeze the space and jump the next pass to win it high. Emphasise patience until the trigger, then an explosive, together press. Vary the trigger and rotate the teams.

Setup time: 1 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Stay compact and patient in the mid-block
  • Recognise the trigger: the back-pass springs the press
  • Nearest player sprints to press on the cue
  • Whole unit steps up together to squeeze the space
  • Jump the next pass, win it high

Common mistakes

  • Pressing with no trigger and getting played through
  • Only one player pressing, the unit not stepping up
  • Late to react to the trigger, giving time on the ball
  • Not squeezing the space behind the press

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Add more triggers: a heavy touch or a pass to a weak side
  • Make it live from a small-sided game
  • Finish on goal after winning it high

Regressions

  • Opponents play at a set pace
  • Walk the spring and the step-up first
