OFTEN USED WITH...

Back out to the top:

Players with the ball run down the backline and play the ball to the player at the top of the circle this player receives and shoots
players rotate.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Crossing - From the Left and Right:

Players in the middle pass the ball out to their respective wingers.

The winger receives the ball, and moves down the wing to then cross the ball back to the original passer, who has run into to the circle.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Far post goal:

Player runs down the byline and passes the ball to a player on the far post. Who tries and scores with a first time shot.
Players run round the cone to get to the other queue.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Quick shot:

Pass and follow to a player positioned just outside the circle
or inside if that is relevant to your team.
one thing obout staying out side the circle is that the defenders are not 100% concerned about you because your not in a scoring position so they tend to loose mark.

to put some pressure on the placement of the first touch you could put some clusters of cones just in side the circle (pretend defenders)
