Phase of Play — Final Third Entry

7 attackers vs 5 defenders. Ball starts with the attacking midfield. Objective is to create and finish a chance within 12 seconds. Reset after each attempt. Coach sets the scenario from outside the grid.

• Ben Carlson — you are the brain here: receive, turn, play forward; don't hold it
• Wide forwards: stay wide until the moment to cut inside — create the space before you use it
• If the first option is blocked, recycle quickly — don't force it

• Reduce to 10-second time limit for the chance
• Add a pressing defender who activates from behind the attacking group when the ball is played forward
