Set Up:
There are 14-16 players set up in the defending half, starting at the cones. The goalkeeper begins play with a pass out to Player 1. Player 1 passes up to Player 2 as Player 3 makes an overlapping run down the line. Player 2 lays the ball off to Player 3, and he passes the ball up the line to Player 4, making and inside out run from the center. Player 4 runs with the ball back to the end line, and the players rotate from 1 to 3 to 2 to 4. Upon completion, the other GK distributes to Player 5 to start the same sequence on the other side of the field.
Coaching Points:
1 Player 2 must check away from the ball before coming back to receive the pass.
2 Player 3 has to watch the play develop before making his overlapping run.
3 Play in a one and two touch rhythm, and don’t slow the attack down.
Progressions:
1 Limit the players to one or two touches.
