Set Up:
Half pitch practice – Yellow players split into 2 groups and start either side of the halfway line. 6 Red players (4 midfield, 2 forwards) line up as shown in the diagram.
Explanation:
Blue 2 passes the ball to Red 4, Blue 2 continues into a run and overlaps behind Red 4. Red 4 receives the ball and passes to Red 3 who passes to overlapping Blue 2.
As Red 3 plays ball to Blue 2, Red 5 and 6 (forwards) and one midfielder from opposite side (either Red 1 or 2) make runs into the box to meet a cross from Blue 2.
As players jog back into starting position play is repeated down opposite side.
