Empty Net Attack (7v6)

Instructions

1. 1XA sprints to the upper wing position as CB holds the ball at center
2. 2CB passes to XA who has arrived on the upper left side
3. 3XA quickly relays the ball to LB pushing forward on the left
4. 4LB delivers the ball wide to LW advancing on the upper wing
5. 5LW passes to PV moving into the high pivot position near goal
6. 6PV feeds RB cutting down to the lower goal line for a quick jump shot

Coaching Points

• Ball must move every second — dribbling kills the 7v6 time advantage
• Extra attacker positions on the far wing to stretch the defense maximally
• Every pass should be made in under one second — practice the release speed
• PV receives and delivers in one touch — no pausing in high-traffic positions
• RB shoots the instant the goal-line position opens — hesitation costs the numerical edge

Common Mistakes

• Players dribble instead of passing, wasting the 7v6 time advantage
• The extra attacker positions too close to existing players instead of stretching the defense
• Passes take longer than one second, allowing the defense to recover
• PV holds the ball instead of delivering a one-touch pass
• Players are hesitant to shoot at the empty net from distance, looking for the perfect shot
