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.

Instructions

  1. 1CB starts with pass to RB to initiate setup phase
  2. 2LW remains on wing without cutting, holding defender in place
  3. 3RB moves ball to LB to shift defense focus to opposite side
  4. 4LB advances into high ground while LW still holds position
  5. 5When defense is drawn away, LW explosively attacks 6m line
  6. 6LB delivers timed pass to LW who is now free
  7. 7LW finishes from open wing position at corner
  8. 8Focus on: patience, positioning, reading defense shifts, timing of delayed 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
