Instructions

2. 2D3 "loses" ball to initiate counter-attack

6. 6Trail player (A1) becomes scoring threat after outlet
7. 7Defenders must retreat quickly to prevent scoring

Coaching Points

• React to the turnover instantly — the first two seconds decide the counter
• A1 must secure the outlet and look upfield before the defense drops back
• A2 and A3 sprint at the same moment, not one after the other
• The outlet pass should be crisp and flat, not a lob — no hang time for defenders
• A1 trails to give the break a safety valve if the primary wing is cut off
