This drill practises the pivot rolling off the defender for a quick shot on goal.
The coach/feeder (blue 2) passes to blue 1 who runs to meet the pass and then pushes/rolls off the defender (white 1) to find space for the shot on goal.
Repeat for a series of 6 shots.

Defender:
Start by being passive and allowing the attacking players to roll off them
Next stage: half active (attacker is still successful).
Lastly, defender fully active.
