This drill will focus on attacking using wide players to cross the ball into an area of danger e.g. the box. I will split two teams up and ask for a goalkeeper, the blue team will just defend and clear the ball once won however the red team will have to use the wide areas to score in the big 11-aside goal. I will then swap the teams job roles so both teams can defend and attack.
