Set Up:

12 players are set up in the attacking third, starting at the cones. To begin the drill, the Feeder plays the ball outside to Player 1. Player 1 passes the ball up to Player 2, and overlaps him. Player 2 passes square to Player 3, who then plays the ball thru to Player 1. Player 1 crosses to Players 4 and 5 for a finish on goal. Upon completion, the Feeder re-starts the drill on the opposite side of the field. During the drill, the players rotate from 1 to 2 to 3, and Players 4 and 5 switch places. After five minutes, new players rotate in to the striker spots.

Coaching Points:

1.  Players 2 and 3 should not slow down Player 1 during his run.

2.  All players should check away, and then sprint back to the ball to receive.

3.  Player 2 should fake a pass to Player 1 before playing the ball to Player 3.

Progressions:

1.  The strikers in the second group defend the cross.
