Organisation
6 mannequins with 2 or 3 players on each.
One goal will need the balls to start out wide and the other goal the ball will start in the middle.
Goal 1 - Player passes the ball into the middle before running around outside of the opponent, ball is played back to the wide player before he then looks to finish in the corners. Player in lane 3 then dribbles into the mannequin before cutting wide and swinging a cross in for the 2 players who just played the combo. Players then swap places and the other wide player starts the sequence so there is practice from both sides.
Goal 2 (on half way line)
Ball starts in the middle, switches the ball wide. Wide player drives at the mannequin before touching ball wide and then delivers a low cut back cross for the middle player to finish. Lane 3 then dribbles at the mannequin before cutting the ball in and placing a lofted chip cross into the box for the opposite wide man to finish. (Important not to close to the keeper.)
