  • Pass into player's runs
  • Receive on the back foot
  • Be open to the play when receiving
  • Vertical passes between the lines

Look to play passes to the correct side of our teammates to make the next pass easier.

It is important the defenders work together with one player pressing the ball and the other player covering the pass into the middle zone.

Pressing players should take the opportunity to score when the ball is in transition at speed to prevent the four players getting their focus back.
