Coaching Pointers:
Players work in pairs attacking the goal. Player “2” passes the ball down the line for player “1” and then makes an attacking curved run to the first goal. Player “1” takes 3 touches and crosses the ball for player “2” to strike at goal. After strike the ball, player “2” turns and now becomes the wide player to cross the next ball. After player “1” crosses the ball he then receives a through pass from the coach and attacks the second goal to try and score. After shooting he now jogs back to the end of the line.

Focus On:

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