DESCRIPTION

All Players are activated when Attacker A (Blue) places hands on ball

  • Attacker D (Blue) rolls the ball and steps out to interest Defender D (Red)
  • Attacker B (Blue) receives the pass from Attacker A and runs to beat Defender B (Red) on their short side.
  • Attacker C (Blue) runs parallel to Attacker B, meaning Defender C (Red) must match them or potentially be beaten on the outside.
  • Once it's clear that Defenders B & C are engaged, Attacker C moves to become half for Attacker B as Defender B initiates the touch.
  • Attacker A runs a 'short' line to receive the ball from Attacker C and try to score on the scoreline, however Defender B should be covering having hit the scoreline and taken the space.
  • Attacker D should be wrapping and can receive a pass to score in the space between Defenders A and B.

COACHING POINTS

Progression:

Defender D runs a parralel line to Defender A, hitting the line and coming forward to shut down the wrapping Attacker C.

Attacker C looks to tip the ball on to Attacker D who is running into the space between Defender D and an imagined winger.
