Setup
Pitch: Four dummies or tall cones represent the defence, cones mark the positions; plus one goal.
Equipment: 4 dummies or tall cones, cones, 1 goal and several balls.
Players: Players A to E and a goalkeeper.
Procedure
- Player A passes to Player B.
- Player B takes the ball on and passes to Player C.
- Player C drops out of the back four and lays the ball off to Player D.
- Player D plays the ball through the gap to Player E, who is coming from wide.
- Player E delivers a cross to Player C, who tries to convert it.
- The drill is then carried out identically down the other side.
Note: The positions then change — A becomes B, B becomes C and so on.
Tip
- Watch for offside.
- Pay attention to the timing of passer and receiver for the ball in behind: at the moment the pass is played, Player E should be in line with the back four and moving at high speed.
- The passes must be firm and precise so that there is plenty of pace in the drill.
