Players start at half way line, play starts with ball being passed to player on either side. CFL or CFR dribble ball down and outside. If CFL dribbles to right side the CFR head down pitch in front of goal awainting CFL to cross. LF head down pitch on opposite side and come into goal on a angle awaiting cross. RF provides support to CFL
Watch for off offsides. Watch player that comes down opposite side to come in on an angle and not straight on.
Add defenders once players become successfull on crosses.
