Technical Practice

Aims of the practice:

. create crossing opportunitites and create chances through build up play in the oppositions half using passing and movement off the ball

. Finish off created chances

. Improve knolwdge of movement off the ball and 3rd man

Key Coaching Points:

. Weight of pass must be good and changes depending on the speed of ball we want i.e( more power on crosses to result a touch into a goal and less power and passes to feet to make it easily controlable)

. Little movements required by midfielders and forwards when showing to recieve the ball

. Timing of the third man run from the wide man to get into a crossing position

. Coach strikers movement to stay within the posts and how to lose the defender i.e( spin off, fake direction and go far post to near post and vise versa)

Rules:

. Rotate to a new position after each attack
