DESCRIPTION

10 moves forward carrying the ball.
12 and 13 switch.
13 takes a pass from 10.
both 12 and 13 advance, 12 in support of the ball carrier.
12 steps in, away from the pass.
11 runs an inside line.
12 passes to 11.

COACHING POINTS

Ensure that the pass between 13 and 11 is executed as close to the opposition defensive line as possible.
Think about what could happen if the move needs to be cancelled, what will happen following the move if we pass the gain line and if we are stopped at the gain line.
Run this unopposed, before adding pressure.
Run this move with pressure as the team gets better.
Execute as close to the defensive line as possible.
Think about where you will use with move on the pitch.
Think about using cones to mark out starting and target points.
Allow players to cancel, but if they do cancel, what are their options?
Players heads need to be up, a move should be a fluid attacking strategy.
Think about player foot-speed, do the players need to be running flat out all the time?
Timing is everything, there is no point in exhausting the move too early.
