Four areas of Awareness:

1. “On the Ball” Awareness before receiving the ball,
2. “On the Ball” awareness as the player receives it and moves it on quickly using one or two touches only;
3. "On the Ball” awareness if the player maintains possession of the ball using several touches; and:
4. “Off the Ball” awareness in terms of their positioning of players supporting the player On the Ball.

This works if all players are in synch and thinking ahead of the ball and it is not just the player on the ball thinking ahead.
