Attacking Movements of our fall backs

Recycle ball till 6 shows Trigger point

1. ( 6 opens up around cone ) - this tells 2 to start timing an outside run

2. 8 looks to receive ball from CB and players to 6 and continues the rotation - into 6 position (can also give support closer to #2s position as they run up

3. 6 looks to pass to farthest CB and moves into #10s position

4. the moment 8 passes to 6 10 must get to the far line to create space for 6 (this gives support for 5 and allows them to cut inside with the ball)

5. 4 plays ball to 5 and they look to dribble in centrally to attract defenders

(choice- connect with 6 who will be in 10 position or best option play to right back at the corner of the box)

3/4- Ashley & Izzy

2/5- Zahra & Kaitlin & Caleigh

6 - Robyn / progression with defenders - Anita

8 - Courtney / progression with defenders - Asia

10 - Julia / progression with defenders - Jess/jade

Progression..

after players have trained in this rotation then we will make a game depending how many players there are.

Key Points for 2/5

- identify when trigger is happening (6 opens up around cone)

- time run so were are moving onto the ball oppose to arriving before ball comes to us

- set up body position prior to receiving ball so were can take a touch and shoot

- if making the run other side needs to tuck in (1 high 1 low)

Key points for 6/8/10

- create trigger (6 opens around either cone)

- identify rotation (dont stay static, make sure your always moving into new space to create gaps)

- 10 must get to the line when they see the following... 6 opens around cone, 8 plays ball to 6, this will give our #5 confidence to leave the line and cut inside to find out new #10 or our #2 who is making a run towards the net
