Players pass to the feeder player who has their back to goal and immediately follow their pass. The feeder controls the ball and waits for the attacker to be within a couple of meters before playing a pass either to the left or the right for them to run onto.
Players should react quickly to this late pass and run onto the ball, take no more than two touches and then shoot on goal.
An extra player should also position themselves in line with the penalty spot, ready to pounce onto any deflected/ rebounded shots.
After the shot players rotate position (the attacker becomes the rebound player and the rebound player joins the back of the line).
Progression:
Feeder picks up the pass and throw it back. The receiver must now control the bouncing ball and then get their shot off on goal as quickly as possible.

Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider.

The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
