One-two, Pass and Pivot:

Blue 2 start this practice with a pass out wide to the player on the wing (blue 1).

Player 2 then runs forward, looking for the return pass. At this time blue 3 (your pivot player) should prepare to make their move away from the defender.

Player 2 receives the ball and then then passes to player 3 who then makes space and shoots on goal.
