Passing & Receiving

Outletting:

create forward passes by transferring the ball

The 3 blue players are trying to pass the ball through one of the 3 goals in the middle of the area to one of the three players on the opposite side.

They can do this by running with the ball, dummy passing or transferring the ball between them to draw to two defenders out of position and create space for the pass.

The 2 defenders can only intercept the ball. When they do so they have to try and and pass the ball over the back line behind the 3 blue players who just lost the ball.

Overload situations

4 v 2 in area:

Players are trying to keep possession of the ball for as long as possible. Players inside the area can use the two players on the outside of the grid to help them keep the ball.
