Layoffs to Goal
Set Up:
Part A: To begin the drill, Player 1 double passes with Player 2, and then plays up to Player 4. Player 4 lays the ball off for Player 3 to finish. During the drill, the players rotate from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 1.
Part B: To begin the drill, Player 1 double passes with Player 2, and then plays up to Player 3. Player 3 settles the ball and attacks with the dribble. When Player 4 shows for a pass, Player 3 passes to Player 4, who lays the ball off for Player 3 to finish. After each ball, the players rotate from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 1.
Coaching Points:
1. Passing – Put your pass onto the correct foot of the receiver so that he can make a one touch pass in the direction that he’s facing.
2. Speed of Play – Extra touches will slow the play down and make it difficult for the players to time their runs.
3. Finishing Angles – Your last dribble touch before finishing should allow you to shoot at all four corners of the goal.
Progressions:
1. Add a Feeder in the other corner to cross a ball in for Players 3 and 4 to finish.
