- Build-up play
A dynamic drill where the team builds up in two zones to create an overload or better positions against the opponent. Players practise playing out of the first zone and taking the next step forward together. Build up the drill step by step. Suited from about age 12. See the video for the set-up and measurements.

What the coach should look for
- Create the overload: give passing options at different depths.
- Play forward when the space is there, otherwise keep it.
- Prepare the first touch before the pass.
- Talk: who is free?
- Central midfielders position themselves well to receive at the build-up.
- The defender takes a deliberate first touch to create space for themselves.
