2 bonus points - If the end pass goes through G3.

Guidance Notes
This exercise is designed to test the ability of an attacking player to
a) move a defender sideways to create space while running with the ball
b) deliver an accurate pass at the end of the run
• Players may use either open stick or reverse stick skills to change direction
when dribbling through the slalom.
• Attacking players should be encouraged to make angled runs while being
chased/shadowed by a defender. This move will create the 'space' in which to
beat the opponent.
• At the end of a run, with the opponent beaten, the attacking player will
need to accurately pass the ball, typically across the face of the goal before
the ball crosses the back line.
• This exercise is typical of an attack down the right, but the exercise
could be used in reverse to create a coaching exercise foe left attacking play.
