Patterns of Play 2nd Phase

Patterns of Play 7v7 (2-3-1 Formation)

Both teams attack same goal (no pressure distration is players jogging back to their position)

All Play will start with goalkeeper throwing ball up and catching it.

2nd Pattern

Full backs split wide, keeper plays to left full back who opens up body and takes 1st touch, there is nothing on so plays back to keeper and keeper plays out to the right back, the right winger makes a forward run to take away winger and then drops deep to receive ball and plays into centre mid who has dropped into space. Winger then truns and makes a forward run to receive ball back from centre mid, left winger and striker make runs to receive a pass/cross from right winger.

2nd Pattern Options

Full backs split wide, keeper plays to left full back who opens up body and takes 1st touch, there is nothing on so plays back to keeper and keeper plays out to the right back, the right winger makes a forward run to take away winger and then drops deep to receive ball but ball is played into centre mid who then finds the left wingers run and they play ball into box for striker and right winger.
