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

Quick Shot Relay:

The practice starts with the first red player dribbling their ball to the goal line before passing the ball back to the player who is on the penalty spot.

The player receiving the ball then shoots at goal and the player who made the pass (red player 1) carries on their run to the penalty spot to replace player 4.

The same happens on the left hand side and the practice continues to loop around alternating from the the right and then the left.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Attacking the circle:

Player 1 runs down the wing to then pass the ball backwards of square to player . He in turn gives the ball to player 3, who has run into the circle and then come out to receive the ball. Player 3 then plays a 1v1 with the defender.

Rotation 1 to 2, 2-3, 3-1.

Same down the right wing.
