Set Up:

There are 12-16 players set up in the attacking third of the field, starting at the cones. A support player (Player 3) is stationed at the 18. To begin the drill, Player 1 wall passes with Player 2, and then plays the ball up to Player 3. Player 2 runs to goal, receives a layoff pass from Player 3, and finishes.  Upon completion, the players rotate counter-clockwise, with 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and 3 to 1. After 5-10 minutes, Player 2’s starting position switches over to the other side of the field.

Coaching Points:

1.  The layoff pass must be made square or backwards to keep the goalkeeper on his line.

2.  Player 2 must hold his run and watch the play develop between Players 1 and 3.

3.  All of the passes should be made with one touch.

Progressions:

1.  Add a shooter on the left side of the field.
