How do we score? And as an opponent, how do we prevent this?
Overview
Once we have found space, the final element to an attack is how to create and then convert scoring opportunities. We will therefore look at techniques used in a variety of sports we use to score points. We will then shift focus onto defense, focusing on how we can restrict an attack and win back possession.
