Set Up:

12-16 players are set up in the attacking third, playing 1v2 in the penalty area with attackers starting at the cones. The Feeder begins play with a free pass into the penalty area, and all of the players release with the first touch. The attacker lays the ball off to one of the other three attackers, and play continues 4v2 to completion. If the defenders win the ball, they can score in the two small goals set up outside of the penalty area. On goals or balls put out of play, the Feeder re-starts play with the next set of attackers and defenders.

Coaching Points:

1.  Hold the runs from outside the penalty area and don’t crowd the 1st attacker.

2.  The layoff pass must be played well away from the defender. 

3.  Look for first time shots (and fake shots) on balls set back from the penalty area.

Progressions:

1.  Air ball service.   

2.  Driven ball service.
