Coaching Points

  • GK must throw or roll immediately on the save — do not hesitate or dribble
  • A1 and A2 must be moving before the GK releases the ball, not after
  • A3 receives on the move and looks to distribute in one motion
  • The GK advancing as an extra option forces defenders to commit an extra player
  • Wings must call out 'open' loudly so A3 knows where to release
