GUIDED QUESTIONS: 1) How should the attackers position themselves to get from their own half to the opponent’s half? 2) Why should they have two players on the wings? 3) Why should they have one in front? 4) What are the wing players options for moving forward into the opponent’s half?

ANSWERS: 1) In a diamond formation. 2) So we can pass diagonally forward out of our half (go around). 3) So we can pass up the middle (go through). 4) Dribble forward when there is space. Pass to the attacker in the middle when their path forward is blocked.
