Set Up:
Ball #1 – Player 2 dribbles towards goal, combines with Player 1, and then finishes on goal.
Ball #2 - After making the wall pass, Player 1 runs to the opposite end of the field to receive a pass from the Feeder. After receiving, Player 1 turns and attacks Player 2, looking to beat him 1 v 1 and finish on goal. After the 1 v 1 is completed, Player 2 moves into the center and combines with Player 3. Player 1 returns to the shooting line.
Coaching Points:
1. Finishing Angles - Your last dribble touch should allow you to shoot at all four corners.
2. 1 v 1 Attacking - Push the dribble at the defender and force him into a poor decision.
3. Finishing - Use ball and body feints to get the GK moving.
Progressions:
1. Add a Feeder on the end line to cross a third ball in.
