Description
Objective: To improve offensive movement of supporting players to aid in possession.
Principles of Attack: Penetration: Getting the ball behind opponents. The role of the 1st attacker achieved through shooting, passing, or dribbling. Depth: The organization behind and in front of the first attacker. Role of the 2nd attacker. Mobility: The attempt of attacking players to penetrate and unbalance the collective defending action. Width: The disposition of attackers across the field to stretch the collective defending action.
Attacking Roles: 1st Attacker: player with the ball. Must achieve penetration by making the best tactical decision based on the players technical capabilities. 2nd Attacker: Player in immediate support of 1st attacker. Positioned at proper distance/angle to ensure that 1 defender can’t restrict both players. Must attempt to combine with 1st attacker to gain penetration through bent runs, overlaps, double pass, wall pass, takeover, etc. OR create space for 1st attacker to dribble in 1v1 situation. 3rd Attacker: Attempts to unbalance the defense by making constructive runs to increase the attacking options, ideally to penetrate. This allows the possibility of the 3rd attacker to receive the ball OR creating space behind his run for another attacker to join in.
Why Move?
1. To recieve the ball
2. To allow other attacking players to recieve the ball
3. To move defenders to unusual defensive positions
4. To strech the distances between defenders to create more space and time for play to develop
5. To Cause defenders a problem, to hesitate and be forced to make a decision
6. To create space for others to play in or run into with and without the ball
7. To create space and time for self
8. To hide from defenders as the ball moves
9. To provide different opponents with different defending challenges
10. To overload an area or opponent on the field
Team Rules and Work Ethic in practice. Earn your spots. Use every practice to get better.

GK Work
Organization: If numbers dictate, have GKs do individual work during Activities 2 and 3.
Instructions: On the shout of "Go" the Gk throws his ball in the air, catches a volley from the server and gets rid of it straight away and then catches his initial ball again.
To challenge further, the Gk then has to keep hold of the volley from the server and catch the second ball on top of the other one, forcing him to balance it.
