Coaching tips on creating space on the field

CREATE SPACE

When playing against individuals or teams who are strong defensively, it is important for the attacking side to know how to create space. This can be achieved by the player in possession using individual techniques such as turning, dribbling or good control. Space can also be created by players running off the ball. It is this movement off the ball' that will be the focus of this section.
