- B passes directly to C.
- C passes to D, who lays it off back to C.
- C plays a through ball to the overlapping B.
- B dribbles towards the goal line and crosses into the box.
- C makes a run towards the penalty spot, E occupies the near post, F makes a deep run, crosses behind E, and positions at the far post.
- The objective is to finish with a shot on goal.
Tip
Coaching Points:
- Ensure timing during the positional switches between A & B.
- Demand precise and powerful passes.
- All players make effective initial movements.
- Overlapping B must be aware of offside, with the yellow cones serving as the offside line.
- B should lift their head before crossing.
