Attack Over the Flanks
Attack Over the Flanks
Organization:
Combination play between three players on the flank. Finish with a cross to two attacking players.
Variations:
All three players attack quickly in a sequence with defenders. Three in the center (as above) and one on each flank. Start with attack in the center. One, two or three defenders can run with the attackers into the box and defend. Defenders in Yellow. After the attack in the center is done, an attack over the flanks follows. The three central attackers ‘recycle’ and try to score from the cross. First from one side, followed by the other side.
Coaching Points:
Intelligent movement before and after the pass
● Initial movement away from the ball to create space.
● Accurate passing. With the correct speed to the correct foot or into space.
● Communication: verbal, gestures, eye contact, and with runs.
Shot must be on target!
