Set Up:
There are six players set up in the attacking third, starting at the cones. Player 4 plays the ball to the feet of the goalkeeper who opens up and distributes the ball out to Player 3. Player 2 runs out of the corner, receives the layoff pass from Player 3, and then plays the ball into the small goal. Player 2 then switches with Player 3, and plays the next ball in. The goalkeeper receives and then plays out to Player 4. Play continues in this pattern, as each goalkeeper plays ten consecutive balls before switching out.
Coaching Points:
1. Open up with the first touch and immediately look to the opposite side of the field.
2. Look for the outside midfielder as well as the outside back when you open up.
3. Long passes should be driven with the instep, and not played with the inside of the foot.
Progressions:
1. Air ball service.
