Delayed Wing Attack with Setup Play
The left wing holds position patiently while the ball circulates through the backcourt, waiting until the defense shifts, then explosively attacks the now-open 6m line. Teaches patience, reading defensive shifts, and the timing of a delayed wing attack.

Coaching Points
- LW: stay still and patient — moving too early alerts the defense and closes the gap
- Watch the defender's eyes and weight shift, not the ball, to time the attack
- LB: deliver the pass at the exact moment the LW begins the cut — not before
- LW: attack the 6m line at full speed as soon as the defender commits to the ball side
- Trust the system — the delayed timing only works if all players hold their roles
