Set Play with Options I

A goal is set up on the end line of the field with a goalkeeper inside. 8 field players are positioned on the field as shown in the diagram. Two players are placed on each wing (left/right) at a distance of 10-15 metres from each other. The two forwards take up their positions 10 metres apart at the edge of the penalty area. The remaining players line up in pairs behind players B and C on the left and right. The balls are in the centre circle.

Player C starts with a half-diagonal pass to player A (1), who passes the ball on to B (2). B then passes the ball to the right forward J (3), who now has six passing options: 4a) he plays into the gap for I 4b) he plays to the left side to E 4c) he lays off to B 4d) he lays back to C 4e) he plays a short pass into the run of H 4f) he passes to the right side to Dn Follow-up actions: 4a + 4e: I and H take the shot. 4b + 4f: E and D deliver a cross into the penalty area. I and J make crossing runs and take up positions at the left and right post, B and C run into the central back space in front of the penalty area, and H and D occupy the right back space. 4c + 4d: C and B take a direct shot or lay the ball diagonally into the run of E or D, who deliver crosses into the penalty area.
