About this cycle

This cycle is centered on link-up play and offensive relationships around the ball carrier. The work focuses on layoffs, layoff support, playing with back to goal and the ability to create passing options to advance. The sessions emphasize close support, first-time passes and a more fluid forward circulation. The objective is to progress together, relying on support players to unbalance the opposing block.

Cycle objectives

  1. Use the support play and support effectively.
  2. Chain layoffs with movement around the ball carrier.
  3. Advance through play with simple and fluid sequences.
