Decision making Appropriate decisions (1) The player tries to Occupy/stay in a free area, at an appropriate passing distance and in passing line Make a feint, creating a passing line Inappropriate decisions (0) The player Occupies a position close to an opponent Occupies the penetration space of a partner with ball Is static, marking, and does not allow a pass Commits an offense: offensive foul or stepping into a prohibited area (goal area) Is situated at an inadequate distance for the passer’s possibilities

Execution Successful executions (1) Leave his marker behind Adopts a free position on a possible free pass lane Unsuccessful executions (0) Does not get away from his marker Remains static and does not allow for a pass from teammate when there is an opportunity
