Ball #1:
• Server starts in one corner of the field and plays a long range pass to the opposite attacker.
• The attacker controls and races forward, then cuts inside through the gates, looking to beat the mannequin and shoot on the goal.
• The attacker then becomes the server. The server runs to the other side and joins the attacking line.
Ball #2:
• Server plays a shorter pass
• The attacker times the run so that their first touch goes through the gate. From there, they beat the mannequin and shoot on goal.
Teaching Topics:
