    • Emphasize reading teammates’ movements and anticipating passes or runs without verbal cues.

    c. Communication Drills

    • Exercises that require calling out defensive assignments or coordinating pressing actions.

    3. Coordination

    a. Synchronized Movement

    • Teach players to move as a unit, maintaining proper spacing and supporting each other.
    • Drills focusing on coordinated runs, such as overlaps, wall passes, and defensive shifting.

    b. Timing and Rhythm

    • Develop a sense of timing in passing sequences and defensive cover to ensure smooth transitions.
    • Practice drills that emphasize rhythm in play, such as passing triangles and rondos.

    c. Drills for Coordination

    4. Team Chemistry
