Teaching a Pressing Trap on the Touchline

Scenario

This example is useful when a team understands the pressing trigger in theory but does not yet recognize the distances and shadows that make the trap work in practice.

Teaching points

• The first presser shapes the pass rather than chasing blindly.
• The second presser only jumps once the lane is forced wide.
• Cover shadow and compact support matter more than extra arrows on the board.

How to present it in TacticSlate

1. 1. Freeze the starting distances before adding any motion to the board.
2. 2. Add one arrow for the forced pass and one for the jumping presser.
3. 3. Use a second frame to show the trap closing and the far-side support tightening.
4. 4. Export a still for reference and keep the animation short enough for easy replay in meetings.
