Coaching Points
- The spread signal must be clear — coach's whistle or hand gesture, agreed in advance
- Each player knows their designated position on the spread — assign before the drill
- Contract back to center at the same speed you spread — discipline in both directions
- Keep sight of teammates throughout the spread — awareness of formation is the skill being trained
- Vary the pace of expansion and contraction to build adaptability
