Today's tip is on the THIRD ATTACKER.
Like the second attacker, the THIRD Attacker should be several players.
Their main job is to UNBALANCE the defense by making PENETRATING
runs to the weak side of the defense.
When we say "Switch the field" we are
looking for our Third Attackers.
As a third attacker, you want to get the
defense to follow you away from the ball. This opens up the middle of
the field for an attack on the goal.
As a third attacker, you want to make attempted
runs to the space behind the defense.
Some common errors we make as third attackers:
1. Standing still
2. Moving toward the
ball and into the strength of the defense
3. Not communicating
with the first attacker to get the LONG pass
