Set Up:

There are 12-16 players set up in the attacking third, starting at the cones. To begin the drill, Player 1 wall passes with Player 2. Players 3 and 4 begin their runs to goal when Player 2 touches the ball back to Player 1. Player 1 strikes an early cross towards goal for Players 3 and 4 to finish.  Upon completion, Players 1 and 2 switch places with Players 3 and 4, and the drill re-starts on the other side of the field. The players continue to rotate from the passing spots to the shooting spots during the course of the drill.

Coaching Points:

1.  Watch the ball as you run in case Player 1 takes an extra touch.

2.  Circle the approaching run and approach the cross at an angle.

3.  If you can’t score with the header, head it back across to the other post.

Progressions:

1.  Add a defender in the penalty area.
