5 Phases of Play for 1-4-2-3-1 Incorporating 1-3-3-1-3

This is a very simple way to show how the team movement works. ​

The main theme is movement OFF and often AWAY from the ball.​

Players position OFF the ball based on 4 things: The best spaces, the opponent's positions, their own teammates positions, the position of the ball.​

Players can interchange positions as we develop the play further up the field.​

We offer great dynamics and fluidity to the players to allow them to express themselves on the field.​

With this we can show the discipline also involved when we lose the ball and we recover back or press high.​

Teams will develop their style of play within these frameworks, it will never be as picture perfect as this due to the nature of the game, it is more just a guiding framework.​

How we do it per team can be determined by the level of play.​

All movements shown are simply EXAMPLES of what can be done / practiced and executed; a Guide.​

Situations and actions will depend on the game situation at any one time. We can go into more depth on that at another time; this is just an introduction to basic ideas.
