When they cross over in the middle the player with the ball passes, using the hand that is closest to their team mate, to the player who they are running past who then dribbles to the other side and passes to the next player waiting in line.

Feint and Throw on goal

In this drill players receive a wide pass and then move towards the defender.

Once they're within arm's reach they should move as if they're offloading the ball across their body (so a right hander would feint the pass to the left). At the same time they they should drop their left shoulder to make the move more convincing.

After doing this the attacker should quickly shift their weight and push off their left foot to explode in the opposite direction and run around the right of the defender.

322 feinting (Dummy) with ball

Meet the Pass

Players stand a few steps behind their cone.

The first player with the ball in hand should step up to their cone and then aim their pass in front of their target recipient (pass to that player's cone).

As the pass is made in front of them players should be ready to move forwards to receive the ball and then pass it to another player as fast as possible (without losing control of the ball).

MORE 527 crossing DRILLS

Cross and shoot under pressure.

At this point the player in possession should try and get around the defender to get a clear shot off on goal.

Cross and shoot!

Players from both lines run forwards at the same time, with the ball carrier crossing over in front of the other player. When the players cross over they should switch the ball between them as at this point they are blocking the goal keeper's view. Once the other player has the ball they should shoot on goal before then collecting their ball and joining the back of the queue.

Triple cross-over

Players work in groups of four and try to make the three passes as quickly as possible as they cross-over. The starting player runs forward with the ball and passes the ball behind to the next player as their paths cross. As they do so the player three should time their run so that they cross over with player two just as they receive the ball in time to in turn receive the ball. Player four also does the same so that they quickly receive the final cross-over pass from player three.
