Set-up
Full scrimmage, two halves of 12 minutes with a 4-minute break. Coach pauses maximum three times total — freeze the picture, correct the shape, restart. Normal rules including set pieces so we rehearse what we drilled this morning.
Coaching points
- 4-3-3 shape maintained in and out of possession — this is the test
- Set pieces: when we win a corner or free kick, walk to the spot, run the routine
- Gavin Kochel — channel your aggression into the press, not the argument with the ball-winner
Progressions
- Remove coach pauses entirely in the second half: let it run
- Award an extra point to whichever team correctly executes a rehearsed set-piece routine
