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!
Don't worry - although this session mainly works on your team's attack your defenders will be given their chance to shine too as they'll be trying to clear their lines and head to safety!

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
