Diagram and Steps

heading
  • Form pairs and distribute pairs evenly around 4 corners of a 10m square (use transverse lines).
  • Pair (A) start by BOTH players leading. Coach feeds to the best option.
  • The second player in pair (A) then makes a run - roughly towards pair (B) - and receives the pass
  • Pair (B) repeat this action by both leading. (A) chooses the best option, (B)'s share the ball, and so on.
  • Advanced level progression: Introduce a defender who works really hard for 30 seconds trying to intercept
    Defender works 4 cones and must work explosively before tiring and being replaced
    Decision making becomes harder, so take a moment longer to decide
    Use fake pass or look-away pass to throw the defender
