We will be working on the skills of:
Team Attack - Patterns 2

**Warm-Up
Dutch Diamond.  1, 2, 2-switch, 2-overlap. twice: 2-touch right and left,
 then 1-touch right and left.
Coaching points: why do we do this drill?  pass and move!

2. Groups of 3 passing - short, short, long

**3 Across the Top - 3v0 patterns
1. straight - 2 wing, 1 center near midfield, center w/ ball, offsides line w/ cones.
go - Center sends 1 wing, other wing makes far post run, 1st wing centers.  Must stay onside!
Coaching points as above.

2. basic weave - 3 at midfield, center w/ ball.  center sends wing and leads w/ short pass.
center overlaps that wing and receives pass down the line.  Center continues and looks
to cross to wings making post runs.
Coaching points: communication between wings on runs, 3rd player timing run.

3. V - 2 wings near midfield, center near offside line, back to goal, wings w/ balls.
Go - wing pass give-and-go with center.  center curls away and makes post run.  wing can
then shoot, or cross to center or far wing.  Add: sometimes when center receives first pass
wing calls "turn" - center turns and shoots.  Add 1 D.
Coaching points: accurate passing, preparation of receiving surface, move away from 
(pretend) pressure, solid 1 or 2 touch shots, shot selection

**4v0 - 1 back (d), 2 wings (a and c) and a forward (b), offside line (cones) around the
 18 (must be behind offside line or the ball)
1. d passes to a; a dribbles then give and go (down line) with b; b curls away to near post;
 c runs to far post; a centers or shoots.  Add: run play to other side.
2. d passes to b; b dribbles then give and go with a; b receives and switches to c; b curls
 away to near post while a curves to far post; c crosses or shoots.  Add: other side
3. d passes to c; c give and go with b; c continues toward center while b overlaps and moves
 down line; c 1-2 with a; a moves down line; c passes to a; c curls away to near post;
 a centers or shoots.
4. make up your own patter with give-and-go's
Add: run other side; add D
coaching points: control and pass, look 1 or 2 passes ahead, angle hips to see both incoming
 pass and sending pass, make through passes so teammate can run on to ball, players without
 ball must check to or away from ball, accuracy/pace

**CKs - attack and defend
Coaching points: near and far post and PK spot coverage, short option, Keeper leads the D,
 O use movement to confuse D, runs to goal from outside of goalbox.

**scrimmage - w/ keepers.  no restrictions.  Look to send 1.  Use curved post runs.  3rd 
man running.
