This session works with a central passing zone with 2 to 4 players per team. The goal is to pass to a target player in the luter attakcing zone, who will then lay off the ball for a shot for whoever passed to him. The idea is that this is a simple 1-2 not a prolonged attack. Only the pplayer who makes the pass can enter the attacking zone. The target man has only 2 touches to lay off for the shot.Progression: players in the passing zone must make a designated number of passes before the ball can be passed to the target man
