Finishing Runs, Pt. 1
Players Required:12-16
Balls Required:
Goals Required:
Set Up:
12-16 players start at the cones, with the lines on the same side of the field working together (Players 1 and 2, Players 3 and 4). The drill starts with a long pass across from Player 1 to Player 2 as he runs into the middle. Player 2 makes a short layoff pass for Player 1 to run onto and shoot. The players switch lines, and the drill continues with the next ball. After 5-10 minutes, the lines switch to the other side of the field.
Coaching Points:
1. Player 2 initiates the play by calling for the ball as he runs out.
2. A poor first pass usually results in a poor layoff pass.
3. The layoff pass should not take the shooter out too wide.
