Set Up:
There are 12-16 players set up in the attacking third of the field, starting at the cones. To begin the drill, the attacker makes a run to the 18, and then checks back to the ball. The Feeder passes to the attacker, who turns around the inside cone and then finishes on goal. Play alternates between the two sides of the field sides of the field during the drill, and the players rotate to both lines.

2. Sprint to the ball in order to receive. You have to beat the defender to it.
3. Accelerate out of the turn, and then look up for the goalkeeper.
