Inside, Outside #9
Set Up:
There are 12-16 players set up in the attacking third, starting at the cones. To begin play, Player 1 passes the ball up to Player 2 and makes a overlapping run down the line. Player 2 touches it back to Player 3, and Player 3 sends the ball thru to the corner for Player 1. Player 1 crosses to Player 4 for a finish on goal. Upon completion, the players rotate from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4. After ten minutes, the starting positions are switched over to the other side of the field.
Coaching Points:
1. Player 4 must wait for the up, back, and thru to develop before starting his run to goal.
2. Watch the ball as you run in case the passer takes an extra touch.
3. Circle the approaching run and approach the cross at an angle.
Progressions:
1. Add a defender in the penalty area.
