Red passes ball into path of white player and then makes an overlapping run. White then plays a diagonal pass into path of the yellow and makes overlapping run down the left.
Yellow can then cut inside and shoot, or pass to either wide player and get in box for cross.
Progress by adding in defender(s).
Initial passes have to be accurate, into the path of moving player and not into their feet.
Mix up the attacks. Don't always finish with yellow cutting in and shooting. Use wide players sometimes, shoot sometimes etc.
Encourage creativity.
