We will be contested so it’s the second
ball we also need be even more aware
of , that can’t be allowed be brought
down and controlled in around our box. It
needs to be attacked correctly and if in
doubt with no quick release than “ if in
doubt , put it out.”
Drill starts when the midfielder receives
a ball (1) from wall player at halfway line
as shown.
The midfielder receives a pass then
turns to dribble,
The forward must make a run to revive a
thru pass in order to shoot on goal.
For the next attack the midfielder
becomes the forward and the forward
goes back to the halfway to return to the
rotation.
Coaching Points:
This Drill allows the coaches to see and
then develop the forwards movement
and imagination.
To work on lads learning each others
types runs , on how we relate a thru ball
to where we can run to gain our
advantage.
Shoot first time and follow in for any
rebound .
Goalkeeper saves he punts ball back to
players halfway, working on his
distribution.

Keeper to stay on line till ball put in and

can read full danger ⚠️, moving too soon
without real reading of flight will put our
keeper in no man’s land.

Coaching Points:
TALKING is a must , a team loses its
voice loses its say as not helping each
other but guessing mostly.

Working on : Confidence , control of

area, reading flights of ball, second ball
awareness, teamwork.
