Teams combine to switch the ball from side to side. No defense.

2/3 touch

Once ball goes wide, play up line or down line to other wide player before going other direction.

Coaching Points:

+ Width from 2/3 OR 7/11

+ Wide players looking at other player and doing the opposite. If 2 is wide, 7 can tuck in. If 7 is wide, 2 can tuck in.

+ 6/10 spacing - 15 yard passes. One low, the other higher up field.

+ NO SQUARE PASSES

+ #7, #11 start wide but can check into holes once width is provided by. Need to get wide once outside back receives ball.

+ #6 providing deep diagonal (or #8/#10 dropping in)

Coaching Points:

+ Wide Players reading each other so only one player is wide at a time.

+ NO SQUARE PASSES - create angles off the ball

+ Defense: Guard the middle of the field first
