Make sure your players are running hard and straight in attack to draw in defenders before feeding their teammate into the space.
This session is perfect for attacking organisation, decision making and quick hands. The session starts with a drill on running straight and to the defenders inside shoulder before moving into a fun and competitive quick handling relay. This warms things up nicely for the end of the session which focusses on attacking organisation and invasive skills.
