Coaching Pointers:
Servers alternate delivering crosses into the penalty area for the 2 attacking strikers. Servers should aim for the “second 6 yard box”. The 2 striker start at the two cones on top of the “second 6 yard box” once they enter the box they must cross over, attacking front and back post. After the attack has ended they must leave the “second 6 yard box” and re enter for the second cross delivered from the opposite wing. After strikers have 2 attacks the join the group outside the box. An attacker runs forward and takes a shot. Two more attackers now move up to the “second 6 yard box” and the drill is repeated.

The goalkeeper has to deal with the cross then quickly adjust his position to save the shot at goal.

Focus On:
  Quality out swinging crosses.
  Decisive ground and aerial finishing
  Goalkeepers on crosses and shot stopping.
