Set Up:

Player 1 passes up to Player 2, who plays it back to Player 1. Player 1 passes the ball outside to Player 4 in the corner. Player 4 dribbles past the defender to the end line, and sets the ball back for Players 2, 3, and 5 to finish. Player 2 looks for the pass played straight back. Player 3 runs to the penalty spot. Player 5 looks to finish the pass thru the six-yard box. During the drill, the players rotate from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 to 1, and the ball starts from the right or left.

Coaching Points:

1.   Crossing – Fake a cross before turning the corner and taking the ball down the end line. 2.   Timing the Runs – Hold the runs to goal if extra touches are taken during the sequence. 3.   Communication – Call your teammates off of the cross if it’s your ball to finish.
