Striker Holding Ball/Laying Off

Method:

Progression from Y shooting drill

A passes to B, who holds the ball up, with Red player marking

B lays off to either D, then spins in behind defender

D drives into shaded area and crosses into box - across top of 6 yard box or in between 6 yard box & peno spot

C makes run into box to get onto end of cross

Then B lays ball off to C, who drives into shaded area & D makes run into box to get onto end of cross


Coaching Points:


Player A: 

  • Good accurate pass into the feet of B
  • Drive forward, offering support and option for bounce pass or to get into the box

Player B:

  • Hold off striker aka 'Shield' the ball 
  • Good lay off pass, into the path of C or D, so they can run onto the ball
  • Spin to get away from defender and time run into the box to try get onto end of cross
  • Communicate with opposite winger, so they are not making the same run. E.g. one should run towards the front post, the other towards the back post or middle of goal

Players C & D: 

  • Good first touch forward 
  • Drive at pace into shaded area
  • Cross should be low, into danger area (between 6 yard box & peno spot)
  • When crossing the ball, player needs to plant their foot angling towards the area they are crossing to
  • Opposite winger should run at pace, holding run & timing it properly to try get onto end of the cross
  • Communicate with striker, so they are not making the same run. E.g. one should run towards the front post, the other towards the back post or middle of goal
