Description

Coaching Points:

1) Crisp, firm passing in build up play

2) Everything done at game speed

3) Cross over movement of players to get to near and far posts

4) Communication -who goes near who goes far post?

5) Timing of movement – entry should coincide with the ball being crossed, the back post run being slightly delayed

6) Body facing goal on point of contact to finish

7) Keep eyes on ball

8) Wide players – Close control at pace, ball out of feet near point of cross

9) Head up when ball out of feet to observe the runs

10) Decision – making – type of cross – near/far – lofted/driven etc.

Set Up and Rules:

1) The area is approximately 50 x50 with a 10 yard zone in the centre and 5 yard channels down both sides. A right sided and left-sided player is on each side to cross the ball.

2) There are goals and goalkeepers at each end and 2 midfield players in the center zone.

3) Players pair up and are in groups to the side of both goals

4) The sequence is, one partner plays to the other (A). A player then plays into midfield who sets back to A. A then has the option to play out to either winger. From here the A players make forward runs into the box to meet the cross.

5) After finishing from the cross, A players go to the back of the other group, and the sequence continues in the other direction with B players.
