Video Techniques

Using players in space:

Player 1 passes the ball into the circle to player 2 or 3, avoiding the defending player, on the edge of the circle, who can only try and intercept the pass.

The receiving players in the circle try and score a goal past the keeper.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Using player ahead of the ball:

Player 1 passes the ball into the circle to player 2 or 3, avoiding the defending player, on the edge of the circle, who can only try and intercept the pass. The receiving players in the circle try and score a goal past the keeper. once the ball has gone in the circle the defender is allowed to try to stop the players from scoring.
