Personality - Do they try or give up easily? - Do they want to be involved even when they make mistakes? - Do they always try to do something positive? - Do they encourage others or lead by example? - Do they help team mates or only play for themselves Insight - Do they recognise opportunities within the game? - Space to play or move into? - Where there team mates are in relation to them the ball and the opponent? - When to ball will be played? - Cues from other players such as posture, eye contact, awareness or lack of awareness in an opponent? - Do they seem to be in right place at the right time? - Do they have good technique? - Are they comfortable moving off both feet, turn both directions? - Can they control the ball with ease using hands and feet? - Can they run, dribble and beat opponents - Can they pass using various styles and ranges - Can they tackle and intercept

Red players must scan forward, sideways and behind for space and dribble pass the defenders (blue ) through an unoccupied gate. If blue tackle, red become the defender Progression 3 v 5 If you don't keep the ball close to your body, you will lose it. Be patient when confronted by a defender. If he is jockeying you, use feints and tricks to get him off balance. Never put your head down and pray that the move will work. Instead, react to the defender by looking at his stance and trying to find weakness in his footing.
