Wing Play / Crossing V

Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
Training Set Main point
Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players

Setup

One winger A and two strikers I and J are positioned on the field as shown in the diagram. The balls are with A. A goalkeeper is in the goal. The players are approximately 8 metres apart in both length and width.

Procedure

Player A passes the ball into the run of player I (1) and starts his drawn running path. I lays the ball off directly to J (2), who plays a diagonal pass into the run of A toward the corner flag/end line (3). A now crosses the ball on the run into the penalty area so that it arrives 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 pass to the overlapping player requires the right pace and accuracy. - The crosser should play sharp, precise passes.
