Main Topic

Main Topic

Session Aim is to understand the difference between in an in-swinging and an out-swinging cross.

How to does the trajectary of the ball change ?

How does this affect your starting position ?

Players take turns crossing the ball into the box creating both in-swinging and an out-swinging crosses

Goalkeeper must decide whether to catch/punch or recover into their goal.

If they decide to recover into the goal player 2 will serve a bouncing ball to replicate a headed shot.  

If they catch the ball it must be distributed into either goal using a range os suitable distibution 


Coaching Points

Technical points as previously discussed

Tactical points in relation to the cross 

Left foot - left side = out-swinger

Right foot - left side = in-swingers

Outswinger = higher starting position, balls to back post

Inswinger = Possible shot, create space to jump, pinned by forwards
