General rules
on passing

A cross field pass to switch the line of attack is ideal if one side of the field is crowded with opposing players and you team is not making any headway towards the opposing goal. An accurate pass to the other flank will give your team attacking space and cause the opposing defense to move across to block the new threat of attack.
