Set Up:
There are 12-16 players set up in the attacking third of the field, starting at the cones. To begin the drill, the attacker makes a run to the 18, and then checks back to the ball. The Feeder passes to the attacker, who passes the ball right back to the Feeder and runs to goal. The Feeder plays the ball thru for the attacker to finish. Play alternates between the two sides of the field during the drill, and the players rotate to both lines.
Coaching Points:
1. A horizontal run across the field is the visual cue for the thru pass.
2. Make the thru run right away if the Feeder plays one touch. Hold the run if he doesn’t.
3. Angle the horizontal run right at the defender in order to stay onsides.
Progressions:
1. Add a passive defender and call offsides
