Hi Scott,
Ok - the best thing to do is try the search bar. This should be at the top of the page - this will find you drills, answered coach's questions and lesson plans. There is also a whole category dedicated to crossing which I believe you will find helpful.
I've added a sample drill to show you the kind of thing you will find in the crossing and finishing drills category.
Best of luck

1-2 and cross
DESCRIPTION
Set up as shown. Player 1 starts with the ball in the middle of the field and plays a 1-2 pass with player 2 before passing out wide to player 3. At this point, players 1 and 2 run towards the penalty area, ready to receive a cross, while one of the defenders goes out wide to put pressure on the crosser. Player 3 will cross the ball into the box where players 1 and 2 will try to beat the defender to it and score.
