Setup
4 players
Can be in teams for competition. Can use both sides of pitch if needed.
4 balls, 4 discs
1 GK (or poles/flags/cones/Skilz net due to COVID-19)
Description
Player A passes to B then makes a wide and bending run into the box. B plays a wall pass with C. Player C then spins away into the box. Upon receiving ball back from C, Player B pings ball out wide to player D. D then crosses the ball into A and C, who attempt to finish first time.
Progressions- add in 1 and/or 2 defenders (blue).
Add in full backs to make overlapping runs for crossing.
Coaching Points
Correct passing technique, firm passes
Correct receiving technique
Communication between teammates
Timing of runs
Player A should run wide not straight and shouldnt go too early to avoid being offside, should also try to arrive at right moment to strike the ball.
Player C should spin away in opposite direction from where he sets the ball
Player B should play ball between edge of and sideline (in behind full back). Player B should play ball at pace into path of Player D. Pass should be firm and away from the 18 yard box.
Player D should wait, time run, bend run and arrive at right moment to cross the ball. Players A and C should communicate, scan, time runs and vary their runs (no straight lines).
