Set Up:

Players 1 and 2 begin the drill with runs from the left goal post into the center, turning right to run around the flags. Players 6 and 8 set the ball back from the end line for them to finish. After players 1 and 2 shoot, Players 3 and 4 make their runs from the end line to finish passes from Players 5 and 7. After each shot, the shooters take the spot of who passed to them and the passers move over to the shooting line at the other post. The drill begins in a counter-clockwise direction and changes every five minutes.

Coaching Points:

1.  Once you are past the mannequins, slow down your run in order to adjust to the pass.

2.  Just make solid contact as opposed to overpowering the ball.

3.  Approach the ball from a forty-five degree angle rather than coming straight on.

Progressions/Regressions:

Progression 1 – Work on breakaway finishing and go 1 v 1 with the goalkeeper.
