Soccer: Pass Wide, Cross and Attacking Header

In defence or up front, make sure all your players want to use their heads in their next game - to clear their lines and beat the keeper!

Players 1, 3 and 5 are feeding the ball towards the 6 yard box. Players 2, 4 and 6 take turns to either head or volley towards goal.

Once players have either fed, or shot they swap to the other side.

4 attacking players keep switching the ball (each transfer has to go via both link players).

Only one defender is only allowed to go out and defend when the attackers have received the ball.

If the attacking team switch the ball the defender has to pass the ball to the other defender who has to stop the ball before then being allowed to defend against the wing player.

The aim is for one of the wingers to dribble the ball through the grid on the side line and then cross the ball to the opposite winger coming in.

The player stood on the half-way line passes to the player up field and then runs in to create an overlapping run.

The player on the ball can choose to:

1. Take on their defender.
2. Pass to the supporting striker.
3. Pass to the overlapping player.

The attackers should play out the drill and try to score.

The crossing player starts with the ball on the half-way line before coming forward and playing one-two's with the players in the cones, while continuing their run forward down the wing.

After recieving the second pass, the crosser will now cross into the box, where two attackers will try to beat two defenders and a goalkeeper to the ball and score.

The attackers start in the coned area outside the penalty area and sprint into the box once the crosser has received their second pass.
