Players work in groups of three (blue players), passing and moving the ball to try and create space for a pass into the pivot (white player).
Meanwhile the defender (red) is doing their best to mark the pivot and prevent the space opening up for a pass to the pivot player for a shot on goal!
This drill is live and all players should be working at match pace, using accurate and fast passes to open up space for the shot.
If the ball is dropped or cut out by the defender the drill is dead and the next group of players start.
Rotate pivot and defending players regularly.
