This is a sample of a
run into the attacking third.

Both forwards must push up against back four when team brings the ball up the field. 1^st Forward makes run towards ball, receives the pass and set’s up supporting player with a
“one touch” pass whenever possible.

As the ball is being passed back the 2^nd striker makes his run across defender and looks for ball in behind the back four. The supporting player delivers a pass for 2^nd forward behind the back four. 2^nd forward must look for “cue” when ball is laid back start run. Timing is crucial.

Remember - Space created, ball delivered, then the run.
