Set up: 1 GK, 3 Teams of 3 - red, blue and grey.
GK passses the ball out to one of the 3 waiting to start. The team of 3 pass and move down the field into a crossing position and cross the ball in to try and score.
Dashed lines represent a pass/shot and squiggled lines represent player movement.
Progressions would be to limit touches, vary finishing and crossing styles. Insert a time limit.
Further progressions would look at the player movement. Attempting to decieve opponents so over lapping each other.
