It will take a little while for the player to begin to understand the practice system. If everything does not go smoothly the first time out, don't be discouraged. This requires players to support in realistic positions. Most times these will not work in the game. Don't allow the strikers to run too far forward into unrealistic advanced positions.
Successive square passes across midfield are unrealistic.
Most long cross-field passes should be above head height to avoid interception in match play. Playing backwards and across back line to go out on other side. Later, the players will perform with a minimum of help from the coach - where the players themselves can show leadership, directing the flow of the practice and changing the direction and play.
