This drill is focused on teaching the players how to perform an overlapping run which results in a cross and shot on goal. The player from the red marker plays the ball to the player at the blue marker. Once the blue player has received the ball, the player from the green marker will make an over lapping run and receive the ball from the blue player. Once the overlapping run has been made, the red and blue player will run to the goal box; and the green player will take a cross from near the corner flag.
