Crossing pattern to finish

6 plays ball to Target 9; 9 drops to 8;  8 then plays the ball outside to 11 who then crosses to far post for 7 to redirect.

Reverse pattern (8 to 10, 10 to 6, 6 to 7, 7 to 11)

Progression add defenders, cross to finish

4v3 with Cross (20 mins)

4v3 + N outside mids to goal.

Passes are as follows:

1) A passes to B; B passes to F; F then makes long pass to Right N player.. 2) PLayers B,C, and D make runs toward goal (C&D near and far post runs, B makes central run. Player A trails behind. 3) Players A, E and F rotate to front line who are making runs to goal. To ensure success, start with 2 defenders and then progress to 3 defenders. N player not making the cross still makes opposite run with the attack. If Defense wins the ball they then play the ball out wide to N players who dribble back to start.

6v6 plus 6 (20 mins)

Same as activity 2 but with 2 additional players for each team. Neutral players are lined up outside the touch line and end line. End line neutral serve as bumper players who attacking team plays ball for a combination 1-2 before taking a shot on goal.
