Team Name/Age Group: U11-12
Coach Name: Ashley Armstrong
Location: Gates North
Date: Week 1
Number of Players: 12

What (Game Moment): Attacking
Where: Defending Half
When (Phase/Moment of the Game): Building Up
Who (Focus Roles): 1,4,2,3,6
Who (Secondary Roles): 8
Why (Objective): Advance the Ball
Main Principle 1: Create Attacking Shape
Sub-Principle 1: Create appropriate height, width and depth
•The players off the ball spread out quickly and make the field big, both up and down the field (vertically) and across the field (horizontally).
•We make the space to defend bigger, which makes it more difficult for the opponent to defend and win the ball back.
Main Principle 2: Provide Options to Play Forward
Sub-Principle 1: Provide vertical or diagonal passing options (insert Coaching Points)
•Players off the ball scan and move into open space, to provide a passing option.
•During the approach, the players adjust their body position to receive diagonally, facing the opponent’s goal.
Player Action 1: Supporting
Look to get out of sight of the defender's vision
Assessing teammates’ movements and moving off each other
Player Action 2: Scanning
Searching for the ball, teammates and the goal
Player Action 3: Passing
Make the pass with the right ball speed and at the right time so that you can continue playing in favorable conditions
Avoiding passing to a teammate surrounded by two or more opponents
