About this cycle

This cycle focuses on the ability to play between the lines of the opposition to move the block. The work involves occupying the gaps, dropping off, through balls behind the midfield, and using free spaces against the defense. The sessions emphasize offensive mobility, quick circulation, and information gathering to disorganize the opposing block and create favorable situations.

Cycle objectives

  1. Occupy the gaps between the midfield and the defense.
  2. Receive and play behind the opposing midfield.
  3. Develop attacking mobility and quick circulation.
  4. Challenge the opposing block by playing between the lines.
