Coaching Pointers:
Players are divided into four groups. Position players as in the diagram above. The practice starts when player “1” passes to player “2” and times a run to attack the penalty area. Player “2” passes to player “3” and turns to attack the penalty area. Player “3” passes out wide to player “4” (third man running) and follows to attack the penalty area. Player “4” attacks the flank and delivers the ball for players  1, 2 and 3”. After the attack the players jog back and the practice is repeated by the next 4 players.

Focus On:
  Quality out swinging crosses.
  Attacking front and back post.
  Depth in the attacking shape.
  Decisive ground and aerial finishing.
  Goalkeepers on crosses and shot stopping.
