Set up a cone box as shown. Each cone should be occupied by a player. Three further players should be positioned as follows: Two players to the side of the 18 yard box, one player to the side of the goal on the goal line.
(1) Goal attempt
Process
The drill starts with a cross-field pass from player A to player C within the box. Player C lays the ball off to player B who psses diagonally to player D. D lays the ball off for player C who, after a short sprint, shoots at goal. After the shot at goal, D sprints into the box and either finishes a:
a) cross from G
b) cross from E
or
c) a backpass from F.
Every player then moves on one position.
Tip
4 cones, - The player waiting for the ball should always make a short, quick dummy run away from the ball before receiving it.
- The passes should be played hard along the ground
- The player should lift his foot slightly when laying the ball off
- Timing is important when making runs in the box
- The crosses and backpasses should be hit hard
