Set up - 10 players, 8 Attackers, 4 blue, 4 red and 2 GK's. Player outside of the box play a 1-2 with their player on the goal line and then proceed to shoot. The dashed lines represent a pass/shot. The squiggle line represents player movement. Progressions would involve changing the shot technique: Laces, weak foot, placing into corners. Further progression would involve adding a cone to the side for the player passing first to run around (game relation is losing the defender).
Communication prior to the starting pass and thorughout. Verbal and non-verbal. Accurate passses able to reach your partner comfortably. Surface of the foot to pass - Side foot? Quality of movement - Is it sharp, decieving to opponents? Shot on goal to score. Should always be on target if not in. Standing foot - Is it clode enough/too far away from the ball to imbalance you? Surface of the foot to shoot - Laces for power or side foot for accuracy? Quality of leg movement after the shot - Follow through?
