Team Task:

Can you change the point of attack in the middle third to create scoring chances.

Player Task:

6,8 Can you play 9 or 10 with an angled pass

7,11 can you make the pitch big to make more space for our central players.

10, can you position yourself on an angle on the opposite side of the ball and see the ball and our 9.

4, when you start the play, can you make the first pass on an angle

Coaches Cues:

When 6 and 8 have the ball do we the have left, right and central passing options.

If the ball is played to 9, is 10 positioned on the opposite side

When we win the ball back, are 7&11 getting level and outside their defender

When 4,6,8 have the ball, is 10 making space for them to hit our 9
