Several areas will be covered with players gradually
1. Players need continual reinforcement to be ball-orientated (i.e., always moving towards the ball at all times).
2. Once most players are ball-orientated, coaches will focus on those players (it is very rare that it will be all players) who show a willingness to break out of the “swarm” around the ball. As coaches see this happen, they ‘ll encourage it and help teammates recognize a moment to pass. Players who are not ready developmentally to “spread out,” will not be forced to stop being ball-orientated.
3. Encouragement and indulging of players that run with the ball and/or dribble past defenders to move the ball forward.
4. Everybody attacks together and everybody defends together. If players are ball-orientated this should happen naturally.
5. When the team is not in possession of the ball, what do the players do? work to get the ball back (this is not a green light to run defending clinics, but coaches will clarify the difference between attack and defense with their players).
