The main focus of this exercise is the entry into the circle by using a double lead then strong ball carrying into the circle.
Player (1) will give the ball wide to player (2), this player will lead towards the inside of the cones (defender) then once the ball comes change direction, this will give them enough room to drive into the circle using their body to shield the ball.
Once they get to the second line of cones they will do a turn to drive strong with vision and pass to the player waiting (3), this player will drive into the circle and score. The rotation is 1->6 so they will practice it on both sides.
