Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve the quality of aerial crossing.
Field Preparation:
 Half Field. Large group of players. Balls. Cones. Colored bibs.
Coaching Points:
A grid is marked out extending approximately 30 yards from the edge of the penalty area. Two cones are positioned at the end of the grid for starting positions for the forwards. Two lines of forwards are stationed at the cones.
Two receivers are placed at the cones on the edge of the penalty area. Three or more wide players positioned wide on the flanks near the half way line. Goalkeeper in goal.
The practice starts when one of the two forwards plays a pass to either of the receivers. The receiver passes the
ball "first time" out to the wide channel. Once the ball is played out wide, the wide player runs with the ball down
the channel and crosses the ball to either of the two forwards who try to score a goal.
Alternate all groups regularly to provide everyone an opportunity to perform different roles. Keep record of goals scored and players get a point for each assist if the player scores.
