Players Required:4
Balls Required:
Goals Required:
Organization:
Set up a triangle of cones out on the flank, about 30 yards from goal. Place large cones in the penalty area for the players to use.
Description:
Player 1 plays the ball up to Player 2 and runs an overlap around Player 3. Player 2 touches it back to Player 3, and Player 3 touches the ball thru, sending Player 1 towards the end line for a cross. Players 2 and 3 make their runs to goal, curving the runs around the large cone in the center. Player 1 must carry the ball past the large cone out on the flank before crossing. Players 2 and 3 finish the cross.
Focus Points:
-
Timing the runs to stay onsides.
-
Eliminating extra touches.
-
Communication between the two finishers.
-
Angling the cross away from the end line.
