Scoring positions: driving into the circle and a pass for a 1 touch goal, Robert will use 3 defenders here to help with the exercise.
Scooing and using the help side: A back player will scoop the ball along the line, the midfielder will come in the ball than run away and receive it, once they get it they will drive strong towards the middle and give the ball to the help side. This player will drive around the cone and then give the ball to the back who is waiting. Then the exercise will be he same but on this side, the midfielders will run and change sides each time but the backs will stay where they are standing.
