Attack Strategies: A Simple Way to Create Space

1. The ball carrier
Ball carrier has to run HARD into a chosen gap and move their hands in a passing motion.

2. Support runners
Additional support players on the inside will force the defenders to remain fixed on the inside, leaving space for the ball carrier (or a support player to receive a pass) on the outside.The ball carrier should be encouraged to use the inside support players as decoys through oral communication – calling "inside pass" or "stay on my inside", for example – and visual signals. As long as all your players know the visual signals, they could use the calls to distract the defenders, for example by calling contradictory moves.
