Hi Gerda,

Here at Sportplan we have two categories you may find helpful. If you go into drills and click onto `Centre Pass Set Plays` you will find numerous ways for your players to get free from a centre pass. It can often be pressuring to set up a centre pass, however, we have tried to take this pressure off and equip your team with a number of go-to solutions you can have in your team`s toolbox.

Also in drills, you will find another category named `Set Plays`, here we have provided solutions to get out of difficult situations - for example back line passes in both defence and attack. This will help your team maintain possession to increase your chances on goal.

These categories contain real-life examples so you can see them in action.

Hope this helps!
