Red plays into yellow, who then lays a minus pass back to red and makes and arc'd run. Red plays the through ball into yellow, who then just passes to grey. Red then makes run and becomes yellow. Grey is now red. Yellow gets in back of line.
Making Space: Make sure you create space from the flags, and make effective penetrating runs.
Passing: Make sure you lead the running player with appropriate pass (straight for bent run, angled for straight run). Time your pass so running player isn't offsides.
