Crossing - From the Left and Right:

Players in the middle pass the ball out to their respective wingers.

The winger receives the ball, and moves down the wing to then cross the ball back to the original passer, who has run into to the circle.

Shooting & Goalscoring

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

Creating 2 v 1:

Player 1 passes the ball back to the supporting player. Player 1 then runs in the opposite direction to which he/she wants to receive the ball. The supporting player plays the ball back, first time, into the space created. Player 1 should time the run so that after receiving the return ball, he/she can play a fast 2v1 with the attacker.
