The drill starts with player 3 moving to the red cone and then coming back to receive pass from player 1.
Once player 3 has received the ball player 2 runs forward in support and receives the ball from player 3.
Player 2 controls and then plays a long switch ball to the wide player 4 who is on the move down the line.
The wing player then runs down the line and swings in a cross for the 3 other players to run onto and attack!
Ensure that the timing and movement of players is correct Players should not be waiting for the pass, they should be arriving as the ball's played.
Attack the near and far post
Be aware of rebounds and deflections - don't let up until the ball has gone out of play or the keeper has it in their hands!
Progression:
Add a defender inside the box to defend the cross.
