Description

Improve our ability in moving the ball out of our defensive third to find the #7,9,11.

In this session the mini goals are the target - finding our #7,9,11.

To do this we need to practice finding our #2 and 3 out wide. Then we need our midfield players (6,8,10) to shift and support the attack by looking to create 2 vs 1 or 3 vs 2 opportunities in the wide areas. By creating combinations, we can quickly play and score on the mini goals.

We also looking at how to overcome a team playing 4 in midfield and how we can overcome the numerical advantage by using width.
