Organization:

Set up five large cones on the flank in an 'L' shape, just outside of the penalty area. Two lines of players start at the cones.

Description:

Working in pairs, play starts with Player 2 making a run up to the cone barrier and then around the end of the 'L' (see the diagram). After coming around the cone, Player 2 runs towards the ball and calls for the pass from Player 1. Player 1 runs to goal after passing, and Player 2 lays the ball off for him to run onto and finish versus the Goalkeeper. The coach can decide whether players should shoot from the outside or go in on breakaways.

Focus Points:

• Timing the runs

• Eliminating extra touches

• Dealing with the Goalkeeper
