Your results and next steps
Where to start
Agree on a reset phrase
Choose a short phrase everyone understands, such as “next play.”
Assign the first action
Decide who calls the reset, who confirms assignments, and what each player does next.
Rehearse the regroup
Simulate a turnover or missed opportunity. Use the routine and restart with clear communication.
A quick team debrief
- “Did everyone hear the reset call?”
- “Did each player know their next job?”
- “What will we say or do sooner on the next rep?”
What to do in common situations
After a turnover
The nearest player calls “next play.” Teammates confirm who stops the ball and who covers space, then move to those jobs.
During a timeout or huddle
Give one person the floor. Name the immediate objective, confirm each assignment, and have players repeat the first action.
When a lead slips
Return to your agreed reset phrase. Pick one shared priority for the next point or possession and agree on how to signal it.
