Finishing with Diamond Passing

• 8 cones (including 2 cones of different colors)
• 4 poles representing the opposing backline

• Variant 1: A passes to B, B lays off to C and moves into the space behind. While A makes the initial pass, D can already start running towards the goal line, as he will receive a driven pass from C into the gap. At the goal line, D lays the ball off to B, who is waiting in the space behind and takes the shot.
• Variant 2: A passes to B, B lays off to C and moves into the space behind. While A makes the initial pass, D can already make a run through the gap between the full-back and the center-back. He will receive a driven pass into space from player C. D takes a shot on goal. If there's a rebound, B can capitalize on it.

Coaching Points:

• Player D: Watch for offside, be level with the opposing defensive line when receiving the pass, and start the run into space at full speed (find the right timing for the run).
• Player B: Allow the ball to bounce off with the foot away from the defender.
• Player C: Play the ball with enough pace into the space.
