Set Up: 

Eight players are set up in the attacking third, with a 1v1 in the penalty area, and five players stationed at the cones. Play begins with a pass from the Feeder into the attacking player, who tries to turn and finish on goal. If the defender wins the ball, he finishes on the two small goals set up just outside of the penalty area. The four outside players serve balls in as well, and after five balls have been played in, the players in the 1v1 switch roles. After that turn is completed, two new players switch in. A team score is kept during the drill.

Coaching Points:

1.  Check away from the passer and run back into the space that you created.

2.  When turned away from goal, shield the ball and keep it on your outside foot.

3.  If the defender breaks his concentration, sneak in on his blind side.

Progressions: 

1.  Progress to a 2v2.

Players Required: 
8 or 9
