Set Up: 

There are 8-10 players set up in the attacking third, starting at the cones. A target player (Player 3) is stationed on the 18. To begin the drill, Player 2 runs an overlap around Player 1 as Player 1 passes up to Player 3. Player 1 overlaps around the other side, and Player 3 lays the ball off to either player to finish on goal. Upon completion, the player that did not shoot becomes the target player, and the other two players return to the shooting lines.

Coaching Points:

1.   A poor first pass will throw off the timing of the whole sequence.

2.   The layoff pass should take the shooter towards goal and not out wider.

3.   Use as few touches as possible, and don’t slow down the sequence with a weak pass.

Progressions:

1.   Add a defender inside of the penalty area.

Players Required: 
8-10
