OFTEN USED WITH...

Far post goal

The player on the left passes the ball into the path of the player on the right. When this player receives the ball they continue to run with with it before passing the ball to the player on the far post who then has shot on goal.

The player passing to the far post continues to run after their pass and takes up a new position by the right post.

The practice can now start again from the other side.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Exploring the back line from left

Player 1 runs into the circle and if the defender does not approach, player 1 can shoot at goal. Alternatively if the defender approaches, player 1 can play a one two with player 2 and then shoot at goal.
Player 2 needs to run out to make him/her self available for the pass from player 1.
Same practice on the other side of the circle (see h500188an).

Shooting & Goalscoring

Far post goal

Player runs down the byline and passes the ball to a player on the far post. Who tries and scores with a first time shot.
Players run round the cone to get to the other queue.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Follow pass

Play alternates from going up the left, to going up the right.

The player waiting in the queue passes out to the wing, where the ball is passed up the wing, before being shot at goal. The player who took the shot then joins the back of the queue. All the other players involved, then move to where they passed to.
