DESCRIPTION

Players divided in 5 stations as shown in the image. 

PROGRESSION

Player A passes to player B who needs to make a good first touch and provide a through pass to player C to make a shot towards goal. 

As soon as player C scores player D sprints towards the yellow cone driblles past the defender and takes a cross. 

On the same time players B and C need to run to enter the box and receive the cross.

TIPS

 

Player taking the cross:

  • Always give direction to the ball towards the end line. 
  • Always have visual contact with teammates waiting for the cross
  • Try to provide sharp crosses

Players waiting for the cross:

  • Make quick runs to enter the box
  • Never stay in the same line with teammate. Always diagonal
  • Switch positions to create space for your self and your teammate.
  • Timing on the run - do not take your position too early
