Warm Up (15 mins)

Set Up

2 Groups of 8
1 at each ladder
4 waiting players

Drill

Player at ladder checks off, receives bounce from central feeder.
Ball played back to feeder, then move through speed ladder.
Ball passed by feeder to end of ladder and play ends with a strike at goal.

Technical (15 mins)

Set Up

2 groups of 7 working at same time.
2 permanent wide players, GK and rotating midfielders/attackers (2).

Drill

2 central players bounce passes until play is triggered.
Play triggered by both wide players checking off cones to receive.
Central player closest to wide players plays the ball.
Receiving wide player, points shoulders and hips forward in attacking position with receiving leg out ready to dribble.
Wide player with ball dribbles and puts cross in beyond mannequin, this may be a first time cross depending on the quality of pass.
Attacking players time their run to get shot away.
Next 4 waiting players continue to bounce passes till play is triggered once more. Play starts at opposite wide player.
Previous group rests for 1 minute.

Considerations

Cross

Speed of attack (Time limited to expose defence)
Head/eyes up to judge type of ball to play
Limit touches, but be in control
Range of crosses/ passes (Driven, floated, curled, cut back etc)
Weight of ball and defensive line.

Finish

Timing of run (Arrive late and fast)
Stay onside
Shape of the run (Front post, back post or measured to receive from deep).
Communication with other attacking players
Awareness of defensive line
Type of finish (Header, volley, controlled, power, finesse etc) determined by the situation (Type of cross, attacker and GK position)

Tactical (15 mins)

Set Up

8v8 set up with fixed wing players in attacking halves only, leaving 6v6 in other areas excluding GKs.
Wide players are unopposed when in the channel.

Drill

CBs stay wide to receive, once on ball look to find wide players as soon as possible to impact game.
Wide players cross to striker and support players. Movement and finish depends on cross and defensive players positions.

Progression

Defensive wing player allowed into opposition crossing area to put pressure on cross once the wide player has received the ball, making it harder and more realistic for wing player.
