Up-Back-Thru

4v2 in one grid, when the moment is right the attacking player in

other grid (#7) should check into central zone, lay off to #8 while #2

gets forward to receive ball and play to #9.

Once there, the play is reversed (mirrored) to go the other

direction.

Competition: Each team plays for 60 seconds before rotating attackers/defenders. 1 point for getting ball to farthest striker.

Coaching Points:

~ Opposite movement to lose defender in far grid (either by

starting behind eye-line or by pushing into defender to create

s eparation).

~ If defender doesn't track then #7 should turn and play directly to #9.

~ Wide players must make aggresive diagonal runs to receive ball at pace
