Working on your attack this session aims to improve your crosser's accuracy as they pick their spot inside the opposition's penalty box and ensure your attackers know where to expect the cross so that they can convert their chances!
No matter what sort of cross your players deliver (in-swinger, out-swinger or driven) the key is that they're able to create space down the wings and deliver into the box!
