Attacking Patterns of Play - 2 Groups of 11 Players inc Goalkeeper

Working on Overlap & Underlap runs from Full Backs and Midfielders

Pattern 1 - Full Back Underlap Run

Two Centre Backs play a pass to each other to start the phase, Centre back then plays a pass into deep midfielder.

Deep midfielder plays to advanced midfielder who lays ball off to full back on their side, The full back then plays inside to opposite advanced midfielder who lays off for deep midfielder who plays a pass for winger who is making the pitch as wide as possible.

Once that pass is played the full back then makes a underlap run towards the box and the winger lays ball off for her first time.

Full back then looking to get to the back line and deliver low cross along the 6 yard are for striker attacking front post, No 10 arriving on penalty spot area, Opposite winger arriving at the back post and No 8 arriving on the edge of the 18 yard box.

Rotate the 3 midfielders so no 6 not always sitting, Next pattern goes down the opposite wing (Repeat 2 or 3 times on each side)

(Swap the full backs with the wingers for recovery)

(Progress to after centre backs play pass into midfield they must then sprint to the penalty area to defend the cross)
