Set Up:

Ball #1: Player 1 plays entry pass in to Player 2 who uses the dummy as defender. Player 2 lays off to Player 3. Player 4 makes diagonal run for player 3 to play a final pass between two central dummies. Player 4 finishes after 1 or 2 touches, depending on final pass.

Rotations: 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 1. Players 5 and 6 switch with each other.  

Progressions:

-Vary the services from the flank tor Ball #2 - driven, lofted, on ground, near post/middle/far post

Coaching Points:

1.  Timing the Run - Watch the combination closely and hold your run if extra touches are taken.

2.  Crossing - Hit the cross with pace in order to add power to the finishing header.

3.  Finishing - Concentrate on making solid contact on a ball set back from the end line. Don't overpower it.
