Explaining a full-back underlap
Start with a static board that shows the winger pinning the full-back and the half-space opening. Then add one frame that moves the attacking midfielder and a second frame that shows the underlapping run.
Examples
These examples focus on communication. The goal is not simply to build a board, but to build one that players, staff, or students can understand at a glance. Each example highlights what deserves a static board, what deserves animation, and where the explanation can stay simpler.
Start with a static board that shows the winger pinning the full-back and the half-space opening. Then add one frame that moves the attacking midfielder and a second frame that shows the underlapping run.
Use curves and arrows sparingly. The key is to show the pressing line, the cover shadow, and the teammate who jumps once the pass is forced wide.
Label the starting positions first, then animate only the movements that matter: blocker path, primary run, secondary attack, and rebound coverage.
Put the rules directly on the board with text and objects. Coaches often get better player understanding when the visual explains both shape and constraints in one place.
Worked examples make more sense when they sit beside concrete instructions. Use the help guides when you need the exact UI steps, and use the examples when you need a model for how the finished board should communicate the idea.
