Soccer: Wonder Wingers

Use the width of the football pitch to get your players driving down the wings and crossing the ball into the opposition's penalty area for your attackers

The crossing player starts with the ball on the half-way line before coming forward and playing one-two's with the players in the cones, while continuing their run forward down the wing.

After recieving the second pass, the crosser will now cross into the box, where two attackers will try to beat two defenders and a goalkeeper to the ball and score.

The attackers start in the coned area outside the penalty area and sprint into the box once the crosser has received their second pass.

Player 1 (red) runs the ball to the third cone. They then play a diagonal pass across to the player on the opposite side.

The player on the opposite side runs to the third cone in tandem with Player 1 (red) and also plays a diagonal pass to Player 2 Red.

Repeat.

After making the pass players should chase their pass across so that they force the nearest player to get the ball out of their feet quickly.

Set up as shown.

Player 1 starts with the ball in the middle of the field and plays a 1-2 pass with player 2 before passing out wide to player 3.

At this point, players 1 and 2 run towards the penalty area, ready to receive a cross, while one of the defenders goes out wide to put pressure on the crosser.

Player 3 will cross the ball into the box where players 1 and 2 will try to beat the defender to it and score.

The player stood on the half-way line passes to the player up field and then runs in to create an overlapping run.

The player on the ball can choose to:

1. Take on their defender.
2. Pass to the supporting striker.
3. Pass to the overlapping player.

The attackers should play out the drill and try to score.
