DESCRIPTION

Set up two lines of players as show in the image.

The players with the ball start from the middle of the pitch on the 23m line and run out towards the side of the pitch.

The first player (blue) runs with the ball at pace and then stops the ball inside the box in front of the other player.

The blue player continues their run around the cone in front of them and then runs back inside the area.

The receiver (red) runs onto the ball left by the first runner and then runs into the D and tries to finish through one of the wide goals.

The blue player should have continued their run and now tries to put pressure on the receiver's shot.

COACHING POINTS

The shot should be passed into the mini goals. Accuracy before power - players should look up, see the space and shoot.

The purpose of this drill is for players to score but be sure to not make it too easy. You can increase/decrease the size of the wide goals to make this practice easier/harder.

Progression:

If there is not enough pressure on the receiver's run and shot you can make this drill more challenging by moving the cone which the defender runs around closer (more pressure). If you move this cone further away the attacker will have more time to shoot (less pressure).

OFTEN USED WITH...

Attacking the circle:

Player 1 runs down the wing to then pass the ball backwards of square to player . He in turn gives the ball to player 3, who has run into the circle and then come out to receive the ball. Player 3 then plays a 1v1 with the defender.

Rotation 1 to 2, 2-3, 3-1.

Same down the right wing.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Attacking from deep left:

Player 2 (left wing) receives ball from the Player 1 (left midfield) and takes the ball into the zone where the defender can try and win the ball. Just before player 2 loses the ball he/she turns away from the RD and passes the ball to palyer 1. It is important that this player stays outside the 23m area and straight behind player 2. When player 1 receives the ball he/she plays the ball to player 3 who runs into the circle and has a shot at goal.
Every player then follows their own pass. and takes up their new position. Next player then starts.

2 player passing pattern:
