Players transfer the ball from left to right or right to left. Then a pass is made into the middle, the middle player leads towards the ball and receives on the run, the roll out towards the side line. An attacker on the side line leads towards the ball and calls. The player passes and attacker receives on the run. The attacker enters a 1-on-1 situation in a box. The ball makes it to the other side and the attacker makes a pass to a player making a lead inside the attacking box. There is a 3-on-2 situation inside the attacking box and a goal is scored.
Aims:
- the ball is transferred fast and hard and traps are made
- the players lead and call loudly for the ball
- the players remain in control of the ball
- the ball is passed wide and enters the D on an angle
