Positions marked in green are the outlets who should be looking to hold the ball
up and give the midfield time to transition ... use the backpass if appropriate. Any
outlet player who does not receive the clearing pass should be looking to break
forward, particularly if there is a chance of a fast break. Arrows show expected
player movement.
THE FOLLOWING PAGES DESCRIBE WHERE THE VARIOUS POSITIONS
SHOULD BE GENERALLY LOOKING TO PLAY THE GAME.
