Group: Break the Line

Who: 4,5,6,8,10,9

Where: Middle and attacking third

When: When there are are gaps between the defenders

What: Off the ball we are splitting the defenders, then connecting the pass. This is most successful when we form triangles and diamonds.

Why: To advance the ball up the field with the least resistance.

Break Lines

start at center circle in 5v2 or 4v2. Red team combines to play into zone B.

once played into red in B, 2 players join in (can modify which players join in) to turn and attack zone C creating 5v4(counting GK)

Modifications:

Add defender in Zone B

pass minimum, or turn restriction on entry ball.

allow defenders in zone a (1 or 2) to chase into next zone

adjustment of player numbers

Coaching Points:

- looking to break line into 2nd zone

- body shape and depth of supporting angle to make entry pass simple

- speed of joining in player

- drive at players to create #'s up

- 1v1 player, turn and drive at defender if space - hold off player and connect if no space
