Pass exercise - looking for depth
- The upcoming player (O) starts with the ball and plays it to the striker (S).
- The striker gives the ball back to the midfielder (M), who then gives the ball to the up-and-coming player.
- The intention is for the up-and-coming player to sprint the running action.
- It is all about the right timing.
- The up-and-coming player must keep a close eye on the bounce between striker and midfielder and judge when to give the ball deep.
- Starting too early would mean running offside.
- Starting too late would mean that the ball is intercepted by a defender.
- Running too slowly would mean being overtaken by a defender.
- The emerging player eventually plays with the ball to the emerging player on the other side and becomes the midfielder there.
- The midfielder becomes the striker, the striker becomes the emerging player
