Outside, Inside #8
Set Up:
There are 10-12 players set up in the attacking third, starting at the cones. The Feeder begins play with a pass out to Player 1. Player 2 makes a supporting run towards the ball, and Player 1 wall passes with him. Player 1 then carries towards the corner and crosses the ball to Players 3 and 4. Upon completion, all of the players return to their original positions. The Feeder alternates service to both sides of the field, and the lines rotate clockwise every five minutes.
Coaching Points:
1. Player 2 should check away first, and then run back to the ball to support Player 1.
2. Player 1 should make eye contact with Players 3 and 4 as he prepares to cross.
3. Time the finishing run so that you arrive at the ball at sprint speed.
Progressions:
1. Add defenders to pressure the cross and the finish.
