4v1+2 : Playing away from pressure into open areas and joining (25 mins)

6v2 (sub-moment 4v1)

Varitions:

-Having all of the players involved, before passing into the next open space/option.

-Playing after 2 passes (manipulated)

-Playing whenever it on

-Whatever variation desired to get the actions and principles desired out of the exercise - tech/tac/phys/pysch

When it is free flowing and no restrictions, pass does not need to be right away. Decision made based on defenders pressure, and positioning, and which option is best based on vision and positioning.

Keys:

-Movement to always be in line (vision of) with the ball.

-Movement in relation to the ball to be an option, especially for those not involed in the 4v0 (the +2)

-Firm passes, high ball speed, especially the longer services going into those new open spaces.

-Early body positioning, and being oriented to the direction we want to move/pass next.

-Moving to not be hiding behind a defender to be an option for player on ball, and open at the same time in the direction of the next space or option after receiving the ball.

Ways to accumulate points can be manipulated and adjusted by the coach/staff
