Wing Play / Crossing IV

Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
Training Set Main point
Number of Players 6 - 9 players

Setup

Two wingers A and E and two strikers I and J are positioned on the field as shown in the diagram. The balls are with E. A goalkeeper is in the goal.

Procedure

Player E dribbles inside toward the edge of the penalty area (1). At the same time, player A makes an overlapping run past player E (2). Now E passes the ball into the run of player A toward the corner flag/end line, so that A can cross the ball on the run into the penalty area, arriving approximately 4-11 metres from the goal. The two players I + J make crossing runs and try to finish the cross.

Tip

- The strikers cross toward the near and far post. - When crossing, it is important that the players explosively switch positions at sprint speed just before the crosser begins the crossing motion. - The crossing players or attackers must not start too early. - The crosser should play sharp, precise passes. - The passer should time the ball into the crosser's run so that the crosser can deliver the cross on the run from just before the end line. - 1 full-size goal(s)
