Teloframe OfficialReviewed by Teloframe

Attacking a Cutback with Multiple Runners

Attack a cutback with coordinated runs. Stagger the runs to the near post, spot, and back post so one runner is always free, then finish the pull-back first time.

Setup & instructions

The winger drives to the byline and pulls the ball back while three runners attack the near post, the penalty spot, and the back post at staggered times. The cutback finds the free runner, who finishes first time. Emphasise the timing and spacing of the runs so one is always open. Vary which runner is free. Rotate the roles.

Setup time: 1 min
