3 drills
drill 1 dribbling and step overs then striking aiming to the corners . Players can try or do fients but the pont is to get around and then shoot with some trickery, no stress but a chance to practice
drill 2
Protect the ball as shown in the other diagram
Drill 3
crossing 3 players two getting into the box and one crossing . Then we swap to the other side .
if the crossing is difficult move the wide player closer but we practice running and crossing not dead ball .
The two striking players must keep the line and not be ahead of the crossing player until the ball is struck . We are looking at delivery rather than the strike but time to try vollies etc
