Crossing and finishing

Sportplan is a very helpful resource and I really enjoy the wonderful...

DESCRIPTION

Divide players in four stations as shown in the image. 

PROGRESSION

Player A provides a pass to player B who needs to make a step back from his opponent to receive the ball and play a pass to player C. Player C receives the ball and dribbles towards the endline. At the same time player A makes a run towards the first post and player B makes a diagonal run towards the second post. Player C makes a cross and players have to score. The player taking the cross can not exit the yellow flat cones line.

PROGRESSION 2

Same process but now we add a defender to make things more difficult.

TIPS

Player taking the cross:

  • Always give direction to the ball towards the end line. 
  • Always have visual contact with teammates waiting for the cross
  • Try to provide sharp crosses

Players waiting for the cross:

  • Make quick runs to enter the box
  • Never stay in the same line with teammate. Always diagonal
  • Switch positions to create space for your self and your teammate.
  • Timing on the run - do not take your position too early
