Players starting on the half-way line dribble down the wings and must use a change of pace and direction (whilst still running down the wings) to beat their man and try to get a shot on goal.
If there is no clear shooting opportunity by the time they've reached the baseline players run with the ball to the back of the opposite line.
This exercise is beneficial to both attackers and defenders.
Attackers need to try and create space whilst defenders are working hard to shadow and shield.
To begin with defenders should be passive and allow the attackers to get into space for a shot on goal but after a few repetitions gradually increase their role until they are fully active.
