All this is to offer support to the central player

Defender is initially passive and becoming more active as session progresses

KEY FACTORS:

Observation of defenders position - make space to allow to receive Create space - threaten the space beyond the defender - come off at an angle Body shape is side on / turned as the ball is travelling Decision to execute the technique of turning - 1^st touch with inside or outside of foot Give an end product - to pass or dribble

NOTES:
