What today builds
Own the Space. Spreading out across the whole field when your team has the ball. Creates room to play, and forces defenders to run farther to cover you.
Say it like this: "Wingers, touch the sidelines. Forwards, push their back line deep."
Create Angles. Giving the ball-carrier at least two open teammates to pass to at all times. Keeps the player on the ball from getting trapped or panicking under pressure.
Say it like this: "Don't hide behind defenders — show your jersey and make a triangle."

"Wingers, touch the sidelines. Forwards, push their back line deep."
"Don't hide behind defenders — show your jersey and make a triangle."
"Dribble at the defender until they commit, then pass to your partner."
* 5 min of slack is built in. Something will run long, and that is fine.
