Set Up:
There are 12-16 players set up on a large field, with lines starting at the cones. To begin the drill, Player 1 passes the ball up to Player 2. Player 2 dribbles around the first mannequin and continues horizontally across the field. Player 3 then makes a thru run in behind the second mannequin, receives the pass from Player 2, and finishes on goal. Upon completion, the drill re-starts from the other side of the field (using Player 4) and play alternates for the rest of the drill.
Coaching Points:
1. Make sharp changes of speed and direction with the dribble.
2. A horizontal dribbling run is the visual cue for the thru pass combination.
3. Fade away and out of the defender’s field of vision, and then run in behind.
Progressions:
1. Player 2 can shoot.
