Make a channel down the board by placing cones 7 - 10 metres away from the board Forward passes the ball to the waiting forward on the half way line. The two forwards then try to complete the 2 vs 1
Player 1 runs through the slalom passes the ball to player 2 player 2 runs infield with and passes the ball off the board to player 3 who runs from the topof the circle to the side and recieves the ball and passe the ball to player 4 who has run from the half way line to score the goal on the far post
Emphasis on the Attacking structure being that of 2 backs, 3 forwards and 1 forward stand in the circle The back two players should be slightly infield to open up the boards.
Player 1 runs with the ball through the little slalom and passes the ball to player 2 on the the half way line. this player then hook dribbles the ball around passing the ball via the board to player 3 coming from the centre of the circle.In the meantime player 4 runs into the space left by player 3 to receive the ball and score the goal.
Drill to reinforce movement on the pitch. The player that started the move will score the deflection from the second or third pass. This will emphasise the need for rotation and dynamic movements.
Drill to work on the movement of players to build an attack. The shot can either come near post if the goal keeper is out of position. Ideally the shot should go to the far post, with the other runner there to pick up a deflection if possible.
Move with options around the top of the 'D'. Runners should continue the focus on dynamic movement, leading into space, and positioning for deflections.
Emphasis should be on the deflection coming outside of one of the posts.
One player will pass to their team mate, who will then play a deflection onto the board for a team mate, who will use an open stick side pick up and run through on goal and shoot.
Work on player 1 starting off the move by passing out wide. Then make the lead to the left post and across the face of the goal to where the cross is coming in from to make the deflection.
Progression from the previous drill (1 vs 1 Defence A and B). Start the game more open, so the defence have to work harder to force the attack to their forehands.
All players start on the left hand side. Defence try to keep the game on their forehand. Attack try to score, dribbling and passing. First pass of the game is into the left hand box. Play a 3 v 2 counter attack.
Have lots of balls. Every time the ball is passed into the midfield while the forwards finish the move, the back two can take the next ball and start passing between themselves until the rotating forwards are ready to receive the next ball. Players not just running around in a circle, but looking to receive the ball.
Emphasis on easy movemants: Try to develop timing with left and right defence players.
Player 1 runs with the ball through the little slalom and passes the ball to player 3 on the top of the circle. this player then hook dribbles the ball towards the cone making space for player 2 to run in to Player 4 on the half way line runs to support the player on the ball who on reaching the board should pass the ball back to player 4 this palyer then passes the ball to player 2 who has run into the circle player 2 shoots at goal
