My objective is to create an isolated drill where there will be 3 attackers (one of the left wing, one in the centre and one in the right wing), with the player in the centre passing out to either the left or the right. The winger should then look to run down the line and deliver a good cross for the other 2 players to get on the end off and finish the chance. In this case there will be no defenders as the isolated drill is in a non-competitive environment, which allows the attackers to concentrate on their technique. I will be assessing this technique and will also aim to get the players communicating when breaking forward .
