The objective of this drill is for 2 attackers to beat 1 defender. The setup involves two lines stood outside the grid in line with the middle. One line is the attackers and the other is the defenders. From this start position 2 attacker and 1 defender run around the cones and enter the grid. They must then beat the defender
In order for success the 1st attacker must draw the defender before giving the pass, this gives the 2nd attacker a easy run through the gap. If the defender doesn't commit to tackling ball carrier then the attacker can run straight through with out passing.
