In this video session plan, UEFA A licensed coach, Dave Wright shares a practice designed to help defenders keep a high line and encourage the attacking side to exploit the space.

With a strong focus on passing and receiving for the attacking team and communication and balance for the defenders, this practice is an effective way to improve your teams understanding of pitch geography out of possession and get your attackers working on movement in behind into space.
