Set Up:
Play begins with a pass from Player 1 into any of the three attackers in the central zone (Players 2, 3, and 4). From there the attackers play 3v1, and combine to send a flank attacker (Player 5 or 6) into the zone to try and finish 1v1. Upon completion, play re-starts in the opposite direction.
Coaching Points:
1. Timing the runs - Hold the run until the combination develops.
2. Verbal and Visual Cues - Combinations have to be communicated early so that all of the attackers can read the play.
3. Finishing - Get a touch on the thru pass as early as possible rather than letting it run towards the defender.
Progressions/Regressions:
Progression 1 – Progress to 2v1 to 5v3 to 2v2
