D1 - Dummy Loop:

Use the diagram in order to think about the starting position of your players, I suggest that they are not too deep for this one.
10 passes the ball to 12.
11 loops behind 12.
12 advances with the ball.
12 pass the ball to 11, this should be a close to the defensive line as possible.
13 runs a line, at speed, close the space between them and 11.
11 does their best to avoid contact, but if they do take contact, they should attempt to off-load to 13.

ALPHA:

10 is the ball carrier, advancing forward, before cutting in as shown in the diagram.
Both 12 and 13 advance, then change direction as shown in the diagram.
12 and 13 switch.
10 provides a pass to 13, who either hits the opposition defensive line at an angle before straightening up.

Think about what will happen next. Could 10 follow the pass and take an off-load on an inside ball, if 13 gets past the gain line could 15 and 14 off wide support? Make this move your own!
