Set Up:

There are 11-15 players set up in the attacking third, with lines starting at the cones and a 2v1 in the penalty area. To begin the drill, the Feeder plays the ball out to a flank attacker running down the line.  All of the players release with the Feeder’s first touch, and play continues to completion. The Feeder alternates service to both sides, and the players rotate to new positions every five minutes. 

Coaching Points:

1.  Begin the finishing runs when the flank attacker looks up to check the target.

2.  Cross the ball early, before the defender gets set.

3.  If the flank defender catches up, fake the cross before pulling the ball back out.

Progressions:

1.  Progress to 2v2 on the flanks. 

Players Required: 
11
