3rd attacker width and depth

Decision of 1st attacker (penetrate / possess / play behind) effected by movement of 3rd attacker

Identifying gaps in defense to penetrate

Identifying defenders position

Use body to shield ball / dribble with correct foot to protect ball

Touch every step, pinky toe, head up - when defenders are close

Big touches in space, head up after every touch, take ball in stride (when space is available)

Position the body in between the ball and opponent

Stay sideways-on to protect the ball and provide balance

Body weight is on the leg nearest to the defender

Head up to observe available options for posession

Tempo of play

Progressions:

allow the players on the attacking team to switch grids and work on possible combinations to penetrate.
