What has happened in the past when you have switched play? What can we use to our advantage? Who is involved? When does switching play occur? Why? What is the purpose? What does it look like? Where does it happen? What effect does switching play have on the opposition? What could you do as a first step? Who else can support? What else can you do? How patient are you or are you trying to force play? Can you create a switch play checklist of factors to help? How committed are you to this goal? What might get in the way of your next steps?

Principle
Share the Ball and Recognise the Trigger Point of Attack Objectives to pursue by the team: To move into wide areas to disperse defense on counter attack, share the ball and recognize trigger point of attack. Look to deliver from wide areas and commit second phase in units through movement and rotation, dispersing and disorganising the opposition. Play forward quickly on the angle where possible and penetrate into dangerous areas; be patient and develop element of surprise. Create and exploit space through a range of combinations. Develop a limited touch strategy, especially in congested areas, varying the pass and movement combinations to avoid predictability. In deep areas look to play direct into the forward space. Build up play through defense and midfield to support attacking options and frustrate opponent. All players must stay in contention, when ball moves, and goal keeper must be alert to counter attack.
Sub Principles
Disciplined and Focused: If no pressure, be positive and look to advance forward as quickly as possible combining defense, midfield and attack through the thirds and channels. Aggressive: Press, move as the ball moves and be patient. Attackers look to combine with wide players and be creative in and around 18 yard box to unlock defense. Assertive and Anticipate: In units, move to create and/ or exploit space in wide areas, deliver as early as possible, pace across the face. Vary runs to be avoid predictability. Common Sense :Quick and strong into attacking positions, meet delivery on angle in threes, looking for rebounds. Attackers combined with midfield through decoy running, crossovers and split runs to penetrate and confuse defense. Limited touches to unlock and give more passing options. Communicate: Second phase attack from midfield to deliver ball back into danger areas from clearance. Committed: Keep play in front, attackers, holding and anchor and second phase support in rotation. Full backs looking to overlap and support wide play and utilise free space.

Communication
Thinking Constantly: Bringing it all Together
What you need to say? How you can say it so that it is most effective ? Where you can best position yourself in relation to the group so that everyone gets the point, and understands expectations and goals set? When will you apply different teaching and learning tools to empower the players and engage their Habits of Mind? Why will you stop the session and give support, feedback and feed forward? Give a point system to indicate success, such as 8/10 or 2/10 rather than good or bad. This will give clarity to the quality of performance.
