Playname : Play - man-up rotate right
 |
1
Objective: To take defence over to the right side in order to shoot from the left.
Description: An exchange of passes should occur round the perimeter till the play begins. The attacker at 1 takes the ball into 2 metres. The attacker at 2 comes round outside the post. The attacker at 4 moves to the centre of the goal. The attacker at 5 also moves to his right. |
 |
2
The ball is passed from 1 to 2, then from 2 to 4.
4 attacks the goal moving slightly right. If the defender does not come, he shots. |
 |
3
If the defender does come, he moves the ball round to 5.
If 5 gets the ball, the attacker from the left post moves out to the left wing. 5 can shoot. |
 |
4
If the shot is covered, 5 can pass out to the attacker who has moved from the left post for the shot.

5
If the attackers have a strong, probably left-handed shooter at 1, the play can work the other way: as a Rotate Left.
Either way, 1 and 5 must not hang around inside the 2 metres and need to start coming back to defend. General coaching points: Except where a rapid, possibly disguised, pass is required, players should fake and draw the keeper before passing. Attackers must start to come back when the shot is coming: for example when the player at 5 is about to shot in the initial play described. The rotation opens up other possibilities: for example, 5 could stay on the wing and the play on the left post could come back into the grap created. With thanks to A. Piller. |
