Set Up:
12-15 players are set up in the attacking third, starting at the cones. The Feeder begins play with a pass to Player 2 (or Player 3). Player 2 plays the ball back to Player 1, and the defender leaves Player 2 to pressure the ball. Player 2 makes a blind side run towards the corner to receive the thru pass from Player 1. The sequence finishes with a cross and finish by Player 3. Upon completion, the players return to the same starting positions, and the Feeder re-starts the drill with the next ball in to a central attacker. Players rotate to new positions after five minutes.
Coaching Points:
1. Player 1 should look away from Player 2 before making the thru pass down the line.
2. Wait for the defender to turn his back to you before starting the blind side run.
3. Player 2 checks back towards the ball, holding his run until Player 1 strikes the pass.
Progressions:
1. Add a third defender in the penalty area.
