Scoring

How the result works

A completed split-line pass scores 1 point.

Example: A defender steps high, a midfielder threads the split line, and the receiver controls for 1 point.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Counting hopeful long balls ruins the shape. Require a controlled receiving touch.

Safety: Use enough width so players can turn without contact.
