Positional Patterns — 4-3-3 Shape Passing

Walk and jog through a set 4-3-3 positional pattern: GK builds to CB, CB to FB, FB into midfield triangle, midfield third to wide forward, underlapping run from the 8. No opposition. Purpose is to learn the movements, not to win anything.

• Shape before the ball — get to your position, then call for it
• Landon Beck, that overlapping run starts earlier than you think; the timing is the point
• Ben Carlson, your first movement is always into the half-space — drop if needed

• Add a passive shadow defender on the press to force realistic decisions
• Increase tempo: same pattern, full pace passing
